Three weeks into our Portrait and Figure Unit and I thought we'd try out some play with processes and mixed media. Metallic paper collages are a fun way to fill in a drawing with color. My students drew portraits on mat board and then tore foil paper of various colors to glue down and ill in the spaces around the lines. They painted the entire surface black and wiped carefully with damp paper towels to polish back some of the shine without rubbing off the colored foil. The dark lines and batik effect is worth the anxiety of temporarily covering the collage in black. All of my students seemed pleased with their finished products.
