1 2 3 I Can Collage! by Irene Luxbacher - ESSENTIAL


Luxbacher, Irene 1 2 3 I Can Collage! PICTURE BOOK, NON-FICTION. 24 pgs. Kids Can Press, 2009.  $15

EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL

What an equally fun and creative book! In this book of the Starting Art collections, kids will be inspired to create something unique on their own. The book explains different collage techniques including cut paper collage, torn paper collage, decoupage, patterns, weaving, and mixed media collages. It focuses on using those techniques to create different sea creatures including a flying fish, an awesome octopus, a whopper of a whale, and a cute crab! 

Given the step-by-step process of making different collages, kids will feel a sense of accomplishment as they create their own sea creature! Also included are helpful ideas and hints as parents and teachers help their young artist-in-the-making.
