4.3 Personal collage
3 Making a personal collage
Instructional sequence
|
- The children are given the task of taking additional photos which reflect or symbolise aspects that are important to them as well as special preferences and characterising subjects.
- Each child then prints out the photos that they want to use for their collage. They may also use the photo from the first exercise for their collage.
- Each child creates a collage for self-presentation, using paper, scissors and pens/pencils.
- Introduction and contemplation as a class: The collages are to be hung up next to each other in the room, like in an exhibition. Who can tell which child each collage represents? How can one tell? Why would a stranger probably not be able to identify the child?

In the discussion, all the collages should be given appreciation as forms of creative self-expression. The class must decide together whether each collage is suitable for presentation over the internet or for private use only (because of too much information that can used to identify the child).
Developing one's own collage style
Children should be encouraged to develop their own collage style. It is important that they develop an appropriate way to implement their own ideas.
Along with the photos, they may also use pictures, drawings, clippings from magazines and other materials. They can experiment with different backgrounds and formats. The photos may be taped up in a row or cut out and recombined and modified using paints and pens/pencils. Anything should be allowed.
Variations on extended exercise
If the children have prior experience in the creative use of digital media, they can create the collages digitally using computers or tablets, e.g. with photo editing or photo display software, or as an ebook with integrated photos, videos and sounds.
The results can then be presented via overhead projector.
