Layered Collage in Seventh Grade

This was a project we worked on during our pottery wheel rotation. Each student chose a subject for their collage.
First we covered the canvas with patterned papers, magazine pics and tissue paper. Then we painted overtop and wiped off some of the paint to show through.

Then we painted our subject matter over the layered background. Last we added more collage materials as a final layer.

Each collage came out so different.
