For Abraham Lincoln's and George Washington's birthday, I had the kids do portraits in an oval paper plate with elements of collage and assemblage woven in. This was just the kindergarten and 1st graders, but it's a good way to introduce collage as well as using non-traditional materials and following instructions! For the face, I had them use cutouts of the Gettysburg Address and Declaration of Independence. One week we did Abe, the next was George. I'm really happy with how these turned out!
I volunteered to teach art to K-6th grade at a small private school. Here's OUR story.
