MATERIALS:
3 identical pictures, these came from extra Krishna Art calendars
tape
safety scissors, scissors and or razor knife
1 long strip of magnetic tape per finished collage.
PREPARATION:
- Help children choose what to cut out in regards to background, middle, and foreground. These may be marked where to cut. Simple pictures are also a good idea for the younger set or else an adult can do the more difficult cuts. A razor knife can be used for this purpose, something older students may also be allowed to use. Put the picture on top of a layer of cardboard when cutting, however, in order to protect the work table surface.
- Roll pieces of tape into rounded shapes to attach in between layers. This will cause the layers to each stick out a little farther than the one behind it, to give a three dimensional effect.
- When finished, attach the magnetic strip to the back of the collage in order to hang it on a refrigerator.
