My Project

I am an art teacher who values the mental health of my students. I would like to give them the opportunity to create collages to express themselves. We learn a lot about color and emotions in my class so I would like to use the glue sticks and tissue paper to create art that is based on mood. I think this will help my students with their mental health, and I think it will be a good way to explore color and identity.

Please help me give my students opportunities to learn about the art of collage, color theory, and how art can help them express themselves in healthy ways.
