Love Rex Ray and Love your approach to creating collages inspired by his work. I did a project 4 years ago based on his work. http://marymaking.blogspot.com/2010/10/rex-ray-inspired-collages.html But yours is much more practical and approachable for children. You've inspired me to give it another go. Thanks Laura!
I LOVE these and want to try them! I was inspired by your blog and had my first graders paint paper and scrape through it and they were to cut out Jim Dine style "hearts" since it was close to Valentine's Day. So many of them loved their painted paper too much to cut! Some cut out from the oaktag table mat that was under their painting instead! It was hysterical!
love them! i really do need to do a lesson on his work. also, how often do you see your classes? I love all your rich, painted paper projects, but i don't like to stretch out lessons over multiple lessons(2 full class periods) when I see my kiddos 2 out of every 6 weeks...
Thanks buddy! I see the students once a week. 5th and 6th grade every 3 days. Man, I can see the difficulty of only seeing them twice every 6 weeks. Maybe get up some painted paper in storage for future projects to help out.
Love all your projects, Miss Laura!
