What You Need:
- Cardboard
- Different types of old magazines
- Labels from boxes, bottles and cans
- Glue
- Scissors
- Other found objects - advertising, stickers, promo items etc.
- Gesso and a paintbrush.
- Sealer / varnish
What You Do:
- Have a discussion about the colours and shapes used while looking through magazines.
- Ask questions like: What kinds of shapes catch your eye? Which colours do you see the most and why? What colours appear most often in advertisements? What kinds of colors and shapes appear most often on food packaging? Why?
- Next, every student should have a look through magazines, remembering what stands out the most for them.
- Encourage each student to choose their favorite parts and place them on a pile on their table or desk.
- The same should be done with product packaging.
- Once each student has a pile of paper in front of them, they can then begin to cut out the parts that appeal to them the most.
- They can arrange these parts by color, shape, subject matter etc.
- Prepare your cardboard by covering it with one layer of gesso ... this will help to prime the work space.
- Next, each student can arrange his/her images which they have collected and glue them onto the board to create a collage.
- When the collages are complete, they can be sealed with a sealer or varnish.
- Set up the completed works and discuss what each child did. Why they chose the images they did. Why did they arrange the images the way they did? What does their collage represent etc.
- Younger students should be encouraged to discuss the colors, shapes and pictures they have found.
- Older students could write a brief essay describing what they learned about advertising and product packaging.
