This is a new project for 4th grade; I have been experimenting in the past few years with different ways to teach negative space, which is a tricky concept. Students cut out half of a guitar, and then used the "scrap" to match up and create a whole guitar shape. The scrap contains the negative space. Kids could choose a traditional guitar shape, or could invent new ones, and I was pleased to see everything from animals to ice cream cones! Collage is a challenge as well, because all the details are cut and glued - no drawing! We looked at Matisse collages for inspiration. Check back, as there are more to come!
