Mixed Media Collages

Objective:  To create art by combining found materials and objects for purposes of drawing or painting on.  To see the value of recyclable materials.

Steps:

1.  Gather as many different materials and objects as you can that can be fastened securely in some fashion, either by tape, glue, or wire to a sturdy surface such as a piece of wood of thick cardboard.

2.  Fasten your materials evenly on the surface, using glue, wire, tape, or whatever else in order to make it secure.

3.  Paint or draw an illustration directly onto the materials.  Allow your illustration top flow across the different materials.

4.  Use acrylic or other medium to apply color.
