This week's sketchbook assignment: Face Collage

This is a mix and match collage project, with a writing prompt that hopefully sparks some creative thinking.

1. Start with gluing the face and neck onto the sketchbook page.
2. Cut out and glue eyes and a mouth on the faces, hopefully each from a different magazine page.
3. Look for patterns and colors in the magazines.  Cut and glue some kind of hair or hat or topping to the collage head.
4. Below the face, write and finish the sentence “Hello, my name is _____.”
