Create a Textured Rubbings Collage!
This week, we’re going to explore patterns and find them all around us.
We’re going to explore texture by making some rubbings, and we’re going to create some collages using these patterned papers.
For the lesson, you’ll need a little bit of basic equipment. You’ll need some paper, some wax crayons, some scissors, and some glue.
You’ll also need to go around your house or maybe your garden or outdoor space and find some textured surfaces! Your challenge is to find as many textures to make rubbings from as you can! Remember: texture is the bumps on a surface, something that you can feel, a pattern that you can feel, in fact.
Once you have filled your papers with rubbings it is time to cut and tear into shapes, then try to arrange and rearrange the pieces into a collaged picture. It could be a repeating pattern picture, or an animal collage – it’s entirely up to you! You might change your ideas, and you cut and tear and arrange the pieces.
When you’re out being an artist, it’s making decisions all of the time about what you’re doing, changing your mind, moving things as you go, whether you’re making a painting or a pot, or a collage, it doesn’t matter. It is all about figuring it out and getting it right for you!
