Hot Air Balloons

As part of their unit on transport, students in grades three and four created these fantastic mixed media collages of hot air balloons. 

Students began this project by adding blue food dye to a white piece of paper using a sponge. This created a cloud-like effect for the background of the collage. Students used paper magiclay to shape and mould a person with facial features. Students coloured their magiclay with paint and once dry added details such as joggle eyes and wool for hair. Students cut pieces of hessian and wool for the basket, and used decorative papers to design a balloon. A fantastic project that utilised many art skills!
