This week's assignment: "Where Am I?" collage

1. Choose a color photo from a magazine that interests you in some way. Cut it out and glue it down with a glue stick. 
2. Using strips of scrapbook or construction paper, use wide pieces to outline the photo and thin ones to make bars going across and down to make a window. 
3. Cut out curtain shapes of another color or pattern and them over the sides of the window with a glue stick. 
4. Little strips of paper could be added as sashes on top of the curtains if desired (the light green strip of paper in the picture below).
5. Think about where you would be if you saw this image outside of your window. Around the window you've created, write an explanation along with a description in marker. 

Below is my example. You may copy the format or make up your own. Be creative and have fun!

This week's assignment: Valentine's Day heart collage

1.  Using any type of paper you'd like (newspaper, tissue paper, construction paper, etc.), cut random squares and rectangles to fit sketchbook page in a loose grid and glue in place. Glue sticks work best so there are no wrinkles.

Below is my example. Be creative and have fun! :)
