Watercolor Collages- Part 2

The next part of the project was very exacting. We turned over the paper and marked off one inch squares. I8 really loved this part. He wanted to do more and more of them. J5 insisted on doing his own. I did one for him and he did do one by himself as you will see. Once the squares were made, I used a paper cutter to trim one side and then the kids cut the strips left into squares with scissors. Then it was time to glue the squares.

I8 really liked making the marks on the paper.

J5 working on his lines. He was all business on this.

R10's first collage- very cool!

R10's second collage- didn't it turn out fun?

I8's creation- nicely done...even though this was his least favorite part of the process

J5's finished product- this is the one he did all by himself without my help at all

This one is mine...this activity was very therapeutic

We have some unfinished business with these yet. There's another collage coming from most of the kids and I have some great frames to put them in. I'm very excited to get those up and going. I'll be sure to share.

Stay tuned for some fun video!
