Margaret Preston Inspired Collaborative Collages

Students in grades 1 & 2 worked together to create these large-scale collaborative group collages, inspired by the work of Australian artist Margaret Preston. 
We studied the paintings of Margaret Preston, who paints bright and colourful flowers in vases with thick, bold outlines. Students used a range of materials such as paint, oil pastels and markers to create textured papers. Students were then shown how to draw different types flowers and leaves. We then cut the flowers and leaves out, mounted them on to black paper, and cut them out again, leaving a black outline around the shapes. Students were encouraged to use a range of warm and cool colours in their work. We think the results are very impressive!
