At art camp this week, I drew a square on the concrete with chalk for each student. Then, I had them collect 15 pieces of plants from the yard. They could be leaves, stems, flowers, etc. Then each artist made a figure from the greenery. I then took a picture with my camera. I put it on the close up setting. I had each figure printed 8x10. They came out really cute. Can't wait to display them, tomorrow. 
I was blog browsing this morning and I really got inspired here. Sara has a great house that she has decorated with funky patchwork and bright colors. I was inspired to collage decoupage my card file that I have had for a while. I got it free from the library a few years back but it had an unfinished top that I never knew what to do with, but now I figured it out. Thanks for the inspiration Sara.
My jr. higher's are working on torn collage self portraits. This one got finished today and I really like it. I snapped a quick pic as he was walking out the door. Good job Eric.
