First graders just finished these colorful hot air balloon collages. We were learning about organic and geometric shapes. I love how they turned out!
Day1: We talked about organic or free-form shapes. Students tore paper to create organic shapes for thier collage; clouds, mountains, meadow, and other organic details. We reviewed parts of a landscape.
Day 2: We talked about geometric shapes. Students used stencils and scissors to add hot air ballons to the collage. We reviewed the art element of space and used size and overlapping to show that some balloons were closer to us in the artwork.
I have to say, I was very impressed with what the first graders came up with! So many creative details! Their expertise at showing near and far in this collage landscape blew me away!!
