Lesson OverviewLearning Standards

In this 5th-grade art lesson, students will explore the art of collage as a medium for storytelling. The session begins with a discussion on the definition and examples of collages, emphasizing their ability to convey personal narratives. Students will learn various art techniques, such as layering and creating textures, through a guided demonstration. They will then have the opportunity to create their own collages, using a variety of papers and materials to express a chosen story or experience. Throughout the process, collaboration and sharing ideas with peers will be encouraged. At the end of the lesson, students will participate in a gallery walk to showcase their work and reflect on their creative journey, fostering a deeper understanding of art techniques and personal expression. Assessment will be based on creativity, narrative clarity, technique use, and overall effort. An extension activity involving digital collages will further enhance their learning experience.
