1st Graders Mosaic Unit

Children in 1st grade will be studying mosaics from various artists and creating paper mosaics of their own based on drawings of garden-related vegetables being grown in Murch's very own garden.

My hope is that these mosaics will show enough skill, knowledge of the medium and thoughtful expertise that they could be decoupaged to the walls as a permanent art display in the school. The image below is an example of what the final products might look like. This image is from morgannas-alter-ego.blogspot.com/ 2008/11/mini... it's a still life mosaic, by artist Shannon Fleet (Morganna). You can find her amazing recycled paper work at http://morgannas-alter-ego.blogspot.com .
Parents can help with this particular project by bringing in any shiny or textured paper they no longer need, by volunteering during your child's class time or sharing online images of various mosaics you might find through Google Images.
