Collage art is something we can all relate to. Many of us first experimented with it as youngsters, creating humble masterpieces for family and friends with scissors, pages from old magazines or newspapers, and glue. Far less humble masterpieces have been created by the likes of Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and many more famous collage artists who have followed in their distinguished footsteps. But what is collage art by the students of Year 9?

The Year 9 students used and combined different media—such as photography, typography, drawings, and color in the secondary art classes. Every character they created in a collage has its own personality. The students created the collages of the Secondary teachers of their own choice. They had different sources of inspiration, from the teachers’ interviews to their experience that they’ve had interacting with the teachers.

This project is an important creative outlet, because it allows students to explore and experiment with creating truly new, exciting and often unexpected results.
