Imaginary Creature Collages by Gr. 3

These collages are inspired by the book Creatures Creatures by Eric Carle.  Each student invented an imaginary creature that incorporates two or more existing animals.  We used Carle's method of painting our own tissue paper, and then using it for our collages.

Domes and Towers Collages by Grade 5

These collages are still works in progress.  For inspiration we observed and discussed the architecture of St. Basil's Cathedral.  Students created a sketch of their own original building that incorporated at least four domes and four towers, as well as many patterns and designs.  We are now making collages of our buildings using construction and patterned paper.
