五年级关于我的一切拼贴画

这个项目其实早在学年初就已启动，但直到“艺术之夜”前夕才最终完成！这无疑是一次宝贵的学习经历，作品也从我最初设想的模样逐步演进而成。我想尝试一种类似高中一年级美术I课（距今约21年前，由艾略特女士授课）中做过的创作方式。在艾略特女士的课堂上，我们曾用杂志剪报制作拼贴画，选取能代表自己的图像与文字，并用记号笔或彩铅为背景上色。

以下是我们的制作步骤！

材料：

记号笔
杂志
胶棒
Crayola Twistables 彩铅
9×12 英寸纸（用于肖像）
12×13 英寸纸（用于背景）

我学到的第一件事是：从较小尺寸的纸张开始！我实习时所跟随的那位老师曾提醒我，要让高年级学生也这么做——如今我终于真正领会了这一点。我们不再使用 12×18 英寸的纸，而是裁小一些，从而减少着色工作量！

第一天：我们开始制作拼贴画。（下次再教这个项目时，我会先让学生画肖像！）我要求他们用杂志中找到的大写字母拼出自己的名字；接着，再剪下能代表自己的图像及其他词语。

第二天：我们绘制半张脸。这是我对每年常规自画像课程的一次创新尝试。这一次，我们无需刻意追求左右两侧完全对称！顺便说一句，这对该年龄段的学生而言确实非常令人沮丧——尽管我反复强调：不必完全一致！这个绝妙点子源自塔比莎·摩根（Tabitha Morgan）的博客 The Lost Sock，她提供了非常清晰的绘制教程！

第三天：将脸部剪影粘贴到拼贴画上，并进行着色！我们用记号笔为拼贴画背景上色，用彩铅为脸部上色。

有些人可能需要四节美术课才能完成！（我每周只给他们上一节45分钟的美术课）

以下是我指导完成的部分作品范例，学生们选择将它们展出在校内一年一度的春季艺术展上。

五年级关于我的一切拼贴画

This project is actually from the beginning of the year, but we just now finished it at the end, right before night of the arts! It was definitely a learning experience, and evolved from my first vision of what the project was going to look like. I wanted to do something like I did in my freshman Art I class, with Mrs. Elliott in high school (about 21 years ago!). In Mrs. Elliott's class, we did a collage with magazine clippings, of things that represented us, and we colored the background with markers or colored pencils.

Here's how we create ours!

Materials:

Markers

Magazines

Glue sticks

Crayola Twistables

9x12' paper for the portrait

12x 13" paper for the background

First thing I learned was, start with smaller paper! The teacher I student taught for, reminded me to do this with my older kids, and it's finally sunk in. Instead of a 12x18 piece of paper, we trimmed it down so there's less to color!

Day 1: We started our collage. (When I do this project again, I'll do the portrait first!) I told them I wanted them to assemble their name with large letters they find in the magazines. Then, I wanted them to cut out images and other words that represent them.

Day 2: We did half of our face. A different spin on the traditional self portrait I do with them each year. This time, we don't have to get both sides exactly even! That's really frustrating for them at this age, btw, is trying to get both sides to match exactly. Even though, I tell them it doesn't have to! I got the awesome idea from The Lost Sock , by Tabitha Morgan. She has a great tutorial on how to draw it!

Day 3: Glue face to collage, and color! We used markers for the background of the collage and colored pencils for the face.

This might take some people 4 art times to finish! (I see them once a week for 45 minutes)

Here are some of my finished examples that they chose to be displayed for our annual Spring art show.
