Arts, Care & Connection Learning Module Library
A partnership with Arts for Learning NW (ALNW) and the Oregon Department of Education
Collage with Erica Edwards
Learning Target: I can use my own stories and experiences to make art and connect with others. I can collaborate with others and share my experiences working with a variety of materials. I express my own ideas to solve problems collaboratively.
Learning Summary: I can create a collage that reflects how I see myself and the world around me. Students will learn how to create a collage that reflects how they see themselves and the world around them. They will explore different materials, colors, and images to represent their personal identities, emotions, and experiences. By combining these elements, students will visually communicate their thoughts, feelings, and perspectives on their surroundings. This project will encourage creativity and self-expression, helping them reflect on their identities and how they interact with the world.
