Non-Objective Art Collage

I love Savannah's bright palette and bold black lines




My daughter and I have been having fun with a non-objective collage idea I found on Mrs. Picasso's Art Room (details and directions shown here) last year. I thought it would be perfect for my Messy Art Fun class. We added a few extra elements to the top two pieces (decoupaged tissue paper, newspaper, yellow pages, magazine cut-outs, and foam stamps.) Once dry, I cut it into 2" x 3" pieces and we re-assembled it into an interesting composition. I'd love to modify this idea to create unique artist trading cards.

  1. I am so glad I read this today. The phone co. recently delivered a whole bunch of new phone books to our apartment and that means people are dumping their old ones. Yeah, yellow pages. I'm off to do some scrounging!!

  4. Oh I just love these. Will have to try something like this next year. It's funny how when you aren't teaching, you just find ideas you want to try everywhere. I guess we need those regrouping times. Have a great summer!
