This lesson is a great way to learn your students' names and to provide an easy, no fail mixed media result!
Aims: To explore the use of materials
To demonstrate the difference art makes (that between a boring name tag and an
an expressive one)
Materials and Tools: various papers, gluesticks, white glue, glue brushes, staplers,
fabric, magazines, scissors, pipe cleaners, tape, wire, markers, glitter,
sharpies, metallic pens, etc.
Vocabulary: collage, overlapping, three-dimensional, two-dimensional, outrageous
Procedure: You may want to have students fill out a boring label-type name tag and then
announce that they are going to make amazing, outrageous name tags. Stress that
their name tags could be about them--with symbols or images that might describe
hobbies or likes and dislikes. The only guideline is that somewhere on the tag
one should be able to read their name.
Go over gluing and attaching techniques, as well as cutting, if necessary. Make
sure they understand the concept of overlapping shapes and that they all know
what a collage is.
Reflection: Tape or pin the name tags on and share them with each other.
