The 5th graders are loving this lesson. There are 3 fifth graded classes in the school. We started out making our own backgrounds to use. Each class made 2 different backgrounds for a total of 6 different styles.
They did:
Shaving cream marbling
Leaf printing
Sponge painting
Tissue paper collage
Painted tissue paper collage
Diffused paper painting
Next, they started making collage style cards using the backgrounds (did this for two class sessions).
Then they made Van Gogh inspired cards and Picasso inspired cards. They could also work on cards of their choice. Here are a few students examples:
All 3 of these cards were made using the backgrounds they created. This was a fun lesson to teach and the students are really getting into it. They have also been making cards at home.
