ART & DESIGN - Y8 – BUILDINGS COLLAGE

ART & DESIGN - Y8 – BUILDINGS COLLAGE

This week we are going to take inspiration

from Scottish Artist Lucy Jones. She

produces architectural artwork (based on

buildings) which are made from lots of

found pieces of paper which are

COLLAGED (stuck to a surface) and then

she adds LINEAR (line) work over the top

of her collage. Her work is quite MESSY

and EXPRESSIVE – so that is what we are

aiming for today!

ART & DESIGN - Y8 – BUILDINGS COLLAGE

Task 1 (30mins) – choose

ONE of the 3 building

images on the following

pages to work with today.

Then sketch out the main,

large parts/shapes of the

image on your A4 paper

(any paper will do for this)

It doesn’t have to be

perfect – just use the

image as inspiration for

the shapes!

Sketch a Building…

Roughly sketch out the

main shapes onto your

paper first in pencil

Task 2 (20mins) – Now to have

a bit of a hunt around – what

papers can you use in your

collage? Have a look to see if

you can find at least 3 or 4

different papers to use today

My suggestions include:

Newspaper

Paper bag

Wrapping paper

Graph paper

Packaging / receipts

Tissue paper

Old maps

Doily

Music paper

Find Papers to collage with…

I’ve found quite a few

different papers and bits

that I can use for my

collage – although I may

not use them all!

ART & DESIGN - Y8 – BUILDINGS COLLAGE

Task 3 (40mins) – Using your

different found paper, start to

collage them onto your paper

now – cut up pieces that are

roughly similar shapes to those

that you drew and then start

sticking them onto your drawn

out building

The shapes don’t need to be that

accurate – just focus on the main

shapes and angles

You can overlap them

Try to stick them down as well as

you can

Cutting and

sticking …

This is how I’ve used my

different papers to create

the collaged shapes

Task 4 (40mins) – Next you will

need to get your chosen image

back up on screen to look at;

start working back into your

collage with pen line work to

show more details in the

building Use a biro/fineliner or sharpie to do

this – or all 3 to get different

thicknesses of lines

You could use a ruler for some of it

if you like

Us different marks to work into the

building (scribble, hatching etc)

Working back into the

collage with pen…

My Collage piece fully

worked into with biro and

sharpie pens

Task 5 (20mins)

OPTIONAL

If you have time then consider

working into the sky/background

of the piece too. You could use

the following to do this:

Coffee wash – crush up a few

grains and mix with a couple of

drops of water

Paint – any that you have

Pencil smudge – scribble your

pencil on a scrap piece of paper

then rub your thumb into it then

smear it into the sky

Collage – use another colour to

add clouds/sky

Extension Task ……

My finished piece with

background – I used some blue

household (emulsion) paint and

a bit of extra biro scribble
