This lesson was done by my 5th graders this past semester. Is is based on Milagros from South American. I have done Milagros with shrink art and metal, but wanted to try something new. I like to try out different ways of approaching a lesson, it keeps it interesting and fresh.
This basically took us all of this semester to do these, because there
were so many pieces to this lesson. Each student used a day, some more,
to plan their image. Once they had their image, they began to draw and
cut out pieces from old file folders.
These were glued down to create
the stamp for the collagraph. I asked that there be multiple layers on
their "stamp". When it was time to print, they printed 4 good/decent
prints.
They were asked to watercolor the first, use oil pastel on the second,
their best print was to stay black and white, and the last was free
choice.
Some of the free choice ranged from sharpie to crayon resist to
metallic watercolors. These are all samples of the prints as a
watercolor.
