And until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.” – Irish Blessing May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields.

#Seuss piccollage how to
Before students try quilling, we look at examples by Jitesh Patel, and I demonstrate how to quill the paper strips for the class. This is a great way to introduce quilling in an elementary art project because the quilling is only a small part of the overall artwork. I have seen impressive quilling projects created by older students, but it can be a challenge for those in younger grades. Quilling is a form of paper sculpture that involves creating paper coils and gluing the paper down on its edge. Then they create the tail by “quilling” thin strips of paper. For the collage, glue sticks work well to glue everything down.

I encourage them not to do any drawing if possible (though at the end some do end up drawing a few details with pen or marker)–all of the shapes really should be cut out or torn from paper.

After planning out an idea in their sketchbooks, students start with 12 inch x 12 inch sheets of colored paper for the background, and then they create a background collage from scraps of colored and patterned papers.
