Start by introducing different shapes to the pupils. Discuss basic shapes
such as squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, and 3D shapes. ( show
examples or draw them on a whiteboard or paper ).
Lay out all the materials on a table or workspace, making sure each pupil
has access to scissors, glue, and a variety of coloured paper.
Provide each pupil with a large sheet of white paper or cardboard as the
base for their collage. This will be the canvas where they will create
their shape collage.
Encourage the pupils to search for shapes in magazines, newspapers, or
printed pictures (if available). They can cut out shapes they find
interesting or use pre-cut shapes from colored paper.
Instruct the pupils to create their shape collages on a white paper or
cardboard base. They can arrange and glue the shapes in any way they
like to create unique artwork. Emphasize that they can overlap shapes,
create patterns, or use the shapes to form pictures or scenes.
If desired, pupils can use markers, crayons, or coloured pencils to add
details, decorations, or additional elements to their collages.
After completing their collages, they can have a discussion with each
others about their creations. Ask them to describe what they made,
which shapes they used the most, and why they made certain choices.
Allow the pupils to proudly display their shape collages on a wall or
bulletin board. This not only showcases their work but also allows them
to appreciate each other's creations.
