In this 3rd-grade art lesson, students will explore the technique of collage by creating their own layered artworks that convey a theme or story. The lesson begins with a discussion about what collage is and includes visual examples to inspire students. After a demonstration of how to select, cut, and arrange various materials, students will have the opportunity to create their own collages using a variety of paper sources and decorative items. As students work, they will focus on layering their images thoughtfully to develop depth and interest in their artwork. The lesson concludes with a sharing session where students present their collages and explain their creative choices, followed by a clean-up and a reflective exit ticket. Through this process, students will enhance their artistic skills and express their imaginations.
