Create your own Word Suggestion Collage

I love comedy, so our class project will borrow an idea from improv theater. We’ll make a simple collage based on a one-word suggestion or phrase.

1. Find your word/phrase and start your image hunt!

2. Cut out each piece using the tricks and tips you've learned.

3. Lay it all out and photograph your different compositions as you go to feel out which one is the most effective.

Deliverable

Once you have a great layout, you might want to sit with the composition for a bit before you commit and glue.

So feel free to share with us a photo of your collage before it’s set in stone or go wild and show us a pic of your finished collage. Can’t wait to see what you make!
