Shape Collage

By | | , ,

Last blog post, I showed how to make different types of painted papers with watercolor paints. We are still doing distance learning, so my students did this lesson at home. These are the slides that I used to show them how to make a shape collage. Shape is an element of art. I like to show a lot of examples from different artists, contemporary and modern.

Hand-painted paper shapes on the left, with text on the right: "Creating a Shape Collage with your Painted Papers - Shapes in Art".
Geometric shapes are mathematical shapes such as a circle, oval, triangle, or square.
Organic shapes: a yellow spiky form, a blue scalloped shape, and a pink wavy outline with a text description above.
Colorful murals with abstract designs and the words "GRATEFUL" and "FLY." A person sits in front of a mural, creating a striking shape collage.
Two abstract geometric artworks; left is a circular composition; right features vertical diamond shapes on a pink border.
Two abstract artworks: one showcasing a colorful shape collage and the other in various blue tones. Text reads "Artwork by Kelly Knaga".
Two abstract, colorful cut-out artworks and a pink shape.
Two hands touching colorful, abstract-patterned wallpapers.
Colorful abstract painted papers on the left and patterned painted papers on the right, with text instructions above.
A notebook with paper cutouts, scissors, and a pink zigzag shape on the right. Text: "Cut up your papers into shapes to create a fun shape collage.
Two notebooks showcasing colorful abstract shapes arranged in creative compositions.
Colorful abstract shapes on the left, orange splash shape on the right, with the text "Have fun. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!"

    This is an amazing assignment! Abstract artwork is also becoming more popular, particularly with geometric shapes! I will definitely be sharing this post.
