Multiple Copies Artwork- Collage Studio

Have you spent a lot of time drawing one specific thing?  Sometimes you draw the same thing over and over again.  You become an expert on that image!  You can expand that idea by making copies of that image.  The images can be different sizes, then you an decide how to make a composition out of them!

Composition means the arrangement or planning the way you use the elements of art like color, shapes, value, and or line.

You can cut out the images and collage them or use them in a painting or a drawing.  You can also use stamping of other images in your composition.

Great start to 2014-2015 School year here at Brookview!

We have had a great time in the art room so far this 1st few weeks of school.

 The art room has undergone many changes this year......I have changed the set up of the art room to include learning centers.

K and 1st grade students experimented with various centers at their tables to become familiar with materials we use in the art room.  They are currently working on self-portraits and will soon begin still life artworks.

Check out the kindergarten self portraits on our Artsonia Gallery Kindergarten Self-portraits on Artsonia

2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders have been learning about using centers and choice based art.  They are currently creating choice drawings where they select the subject and media for their artwork.  Here are some students working together to create still life artworks.  The choice based art studio provides an authentic art making experience for students.  It also allows them the ability to work with others on common ideas or create something on their own.

For more information about choice based learning please visit this site:
