This is an interesting, colorful "cut and paste" collage lesson for third, fourth and fifth graders.(I would allow 3 to 4 weeks to complete, or one to two hours if a single collage is done by a student). Andy Warhol was a leader in the Pop Art movement who is most famous for his silkscreen portraits. Working with siblings or alone, the first step is to decide on a person or pet for this collage project. Possibilities include Mickey Mouse, Squidward, Sponge Bob, a pet, superheroes or famous singers. Next, draw the portrait in pencil on copy paper, making each feature a separate outline...i.e. draw hair, then glasses or hat, nose, mouth, neck or shirt. Each of these will become a tracer when cut out. Take four different colors of paper, and place a tracer over it. You can cut through all layers, but it is easier to trace it four times for four identical pieces, each in a different color. The final portrait should be laid out before it is glued together. This will result in four identical portraits out of colored paper, with each one having different colors. I taught this as a team project and it would be ideal for two or more siblings or students.
