I was reading a blog this morning from the TAB (teaching for artistic behaviors) blog. The blog was a lively discussion of "how-to's" in creating collages- how to teach children to put these together, what kind of glue, how do you work with overlap, etc. I believe that collages are an excellent way to use the process of thinking in order to create. You cannot do a collage- you have to create a collage.
There is alot a thinking involved. All of the elements and principles you know are involved in this creation. As an added bonus, the process of creating a collage is a "flow" activity...time passes...and more time passes...in an absorbing activity that stimulates your artistic muscles.
This collage is called "Disruption", and pictures a physics class in action. The student on the right is examining her nails, while the "good" student on the left has the answer and is poised to write it on the blackboard. I really had fun with this one.
I wonder how long students will know what a blackboard is. Aren't whiteboards the way of today?
