2nd Grade Textured Home Collages

Earlier in the school year 2nd grade students completed textured collages depicting the inside or outside of their homes, whichever they chose. Throughout the course of this unit students learned about Texture and Collage as well as the art of Keith Haring and Kehinde Wiley to understand why an artist would want to use texture in their art.

Prior to creating their texture collages students drew out the inside or outside of their homes to plan out where they could add textured elements to their collages. As students progressed through the unit they also discussed different types of living situations and I demonstrated for the students how they could create different textures. Prior to completing their texture collages students also practiced creating paper textures on a worksheet.

Below are some of the students' completed works.
