Building sandwiches


  
Texture, balance and variety were elements students concentrated on as they created this collage of a big sandwich! 

What do you need?
  • colored card board 
  • ribbed cardboard
  • leftovers of colored paper
  • yarn leftovers
  • fabric leftovers
  • pasta in different shapes
  • seeds and/or rice
  • scissors and glue
Before: 
Discuss what students like on their sandwich and how to represent this. Examples: yellow paper with holes in it will represent cheese; red yarn can be ketchup and an enrolled piece of pink cotton is a slice of ham.
The artwork should be partly 3D, so do not paste everything just flat; try to work spatial and let things overlap. 
What should you do?
  1. Create a table cloth from leftovers of cotton or paper. 
  2. Cut a plate and paste it on the table.
  3. Cut two parts of a hamburger bun of ribbed cardboard. 
  4. Put your favourite toppings on the burger.
  5. Complete your burger with  the second piece of ribbed cardboard.
Works of art made in grade 4, 5 and 6.

  1. Amazing! I really like this as a collage! I have seen assignments that were hand drawn, but I'm really caught up by the collage element. I will have to put this into my plans for January!
