Week 6: Thursday, Collaged Creamy Crayon Drawings

Today we were fortunate to have Mike Bochner, Oak Park Artist and Chicago public school teacher, join us and share his insights about collage techniques. Mike highlighted the importance of negative space and encouraged students to think about how positive shapes and negative spaces must work together to create a successful collage. For the activity, students cut apart their creamy crayon drawings to create an entirely new collaged composition. Both the original drawings and the newly composed collages are attention grabbers! Please see the students' work below:
