Remembrance Day Collage Peace Doves

Every year I try to design a new project for Remembrance Day. This year I decided on a torn paper collage of doves as I found some textured paper that I'd had for years and

hadn't gotten around to using.

On 11x17" large heavy paper, Grade 4 - 6 students sketched out a dove shape.

Then they cut it out.

Each student then took a square of the textured paper and tore it into

rectangular feather-like shapes.

Using white glue and a paintbrush , they collaged the paper

onto their dove shape.

Finally, they added a beak and a eye made from construction paper.

I love the soft textured effect of these birds!

Some Grade 4 - 6 results!
