G3 Visual Arts: Symbolic Collage

Central idea: Family culture and values have an important impact on who we are.

Unit: Who we are

Project: Symbolic collage

Activity Description

Students explored the link between family values and culture, and tried to use symbolic ways to create images through collages. Students had to think of personalities and characters that represent their family’s icon, and selected more than 3 colors that stand for the specific traits. They were also assigned to collect the colors that were different from others, and created their own color palette for using the collage skills to make their symbol collage artwork.
