Works by the following artists could be examined Juan Gris, Max Ernst, Georges Braque, Jean Arp, Jean Dubuffet, and Romare Bearden. References Brommer, Gerald. The Art of Collage. Classroom Development Show students a variety of works of collage and collagraph. Then discuss unifying devices, such as repetition, simplicity, harmony of colour or shape, proximity, and continuation.
Next students are to collect images themselves.
By searching for objects students will be sensitized to a different way of looking at environments. Ideas or themes which will unify the student's composition should be discussed. Give students time to construct their collage using standard techniques. Just before students do any studio work remind them of the safety precautions which are relevant to this particular activity. The second expressive art activity is to ink the collage with rolled cheesecloth or other dauber.
