(G4) Collage Compositions

The students cut out pictures from magazines and created original collages.

I instructed them to use one element from the original artwork to create a unique background. 

The student erased the flowers in the girl's dress and used a floral theme for the background.

Student comment: "She looks like Lady Gaga."
