COLLAGE ASSIGNMENT

For this assignment -- I am asking you to create a "collage" of images and/or words that reflects your personal self-esteem by ……… segregating the positive from the negative. You must give it a title and answer reflection questions on the back of the collage.

It might be smart to start with a title to organize your ideas before you begin the collage. Or make the collage and title it afterward. The process will take you on an interesting line of thought, if you do it with care. Use class time wisely; you will be given some credit for staying on task and managing your time efficiently. Experiment and express yourself however you wish in collage form, but be prepared to explain your creativity on the back of your collage with intelligent and introspective answers.

Minimum size of your collage must be an 8 ½ x 11" piece of printer paper…go larger if necessary!

Reflection Questions (answered in complete sentences on back):

  1. Briefly describe the theme/meaning of the collage…How or in what manner is it depicting your self-esteem?
  2. Why did you decide on the design you used and what steps did you take when planning out the creation of your collage?
  3. Did any insights/emotions come about while making the collage? Or when viewing your final product? How you feel about your self-esteem or the importance of self-esteem?
