I created a mandala out of cut up sticky notes. I cut them into tiny pieces, and arranged them into a circular shape. After I formed the mandala, I destroyed it by blowing it apart. After it was destroyed I scooped up the pieces back into a pile where all of the colors were now mixed. How do you stay in touch with the spiritual side of things? I think that it is important to stay in touch with the spiritual side of things through meditation. Taking time to reflect is very important, and there are many ways one can do this. Taking a walk is a good time to meditate. One could also meditate when creating art, like a mandala. There were many quotes from the article that I really liked. Here are a few of them:

Design inspired by Keri Smith's book, The Guerilla Art Kit For class we were asked to bring personal things we would like to collage with. I brought some family pictures that I had previously used in an art project. I found maps of places that I had lived when I was younger, and used them in my collages. We also had the painted paper available to us for our collages.
Essential Questions:
Theory Pool and Learning GoalsStudents will learn the techniques used by popular collage artists such as Henri Matisse, Romare Bearden, and Roy Lichtenstein, and be able to apply those techniques to their own works of art. Students will be able to identify and apply the elements and principles of design in their own artwork. Students will examine what visual messages are around them, and how those apply to making and interpreting art. RationalThis unit will help students understand composition by moving and placing different images together. Because collaging doesn't require drawing, there will be less pressure for the students to draw realistic artwork. Collaging teaches students how they can repurpose images and how make art with what is available to them. Art can be made anywhere with anything. Students will explore how they can express their feelings and emotions through collage, and will learn about how different collage artists express themselves. Knowledge BaseArtists to know:
Learning ActivitiesLearning Activity #1 - Painting PaperStudents will look at abstract expressionist stye paintings and choose one to copy. Students should be encouraged to make more than one painting Learning Activity #2 - Mimicking MatisseStudents will use the paper previously painted in class to create cut-out images based off of a Matisse work of art. Encourage students to make more than one. Learning Activity #3 - Collaging with MusicStudents will look discover how listening to music can impact art. Learning Activity #4 - Making Artists MeetStudents will collage using inspiration from Henri Matisse and Romare Bearden. What do these artists do differently? What does combining their art styles create? Learning Activity #5 - Incorporating Text into CollageLook at artwork by Roy Lichtenstein, and note how he uses text in his artwork. Students will create collages by incorporating comics and shape cut-outs. The Big ProjectStudents will create a Zine that has a least 8 pages. These pages should be filled with collages that they have created. These collages should be inspired by things that they love; this could include family, music, and places. Students can use whatever medium they want to create these zines, however, they should produce at least 1 physical Zine to show the class and turn in.
In this activity, we combined the collage elements that we learned from Matisse with comics in the style of Roy Lichtenstein. We continued to use paper we have previously painted, and distributed comic book pages to use. After finishing the collage, we mounted them on black boards and hung them up in the classroom.
