Collage Still-Life-5th Grade

After discussing organic and geometric shapes, fifth graders used different materials to create a collage. Then they drew a still-life on top of the collage with a black sharpie. This process created great contrast. Using watercolors, students painted their still-life using warm and cool colors. The different materials created wonderful texture and gave the realistic drawing of a still-life a very abstract look. This was a great project to kick off the year!
