Came across these pavement portraits made using mosaic tiles around the southbank.. Might make an interesting portrait project for students around the school premise.Would be good to link in some way to local history.

Came across these pattern off cuts used by my wife for designing a dress and thought it would make a good resource for creating cubist style relief collages. Could roll various materials around a pole and then cut up and stick down (in a carefully composed arrangement, of course - nothing ad hoc!). Might also be a good experimental process for designing futuristic architecture.
Cardboard is a great, cheap material that can be used for making sculptures and models. Have a look at these links for ideas:
http://alfredfoundations.com/2011/08/29/constructing-with-cardboard In this activity, pupils will use imagery of figures playing a sport linked to the Olympics to create a collage.
Possible tasks include: - photographing themselves posing in action shots as silhouettes using back lighting or against a bright doorway - using their own photos or images from the Internet, they should attach them to coloured paper using a paper clip or strips of masking tape before cutting them out. Tip: Use more than one sheet if multiple figures are needed - creating a collage that has a sense of movement - creating a collage that shows an action scene between two figures - creating a background that is either based on real landscape or abstract shapes that create a mood - using warm-cool or complementary colour combinations Extensions - retracing compositions to then build up into reliefs using mixed media from cardboard, tissue paper, paintings, photographic images, foil, etc - enlarging using an OHP to create a large scale painting/wall mural - cutting out figures on hard card that can be put onto mini plinths through cut and slot techniques |
