My 5th and 6th Graders made these amazing life size collaborative collages. They learned about the artist from the 1500s named Arcimboldo. They had to choose a theme and find images that reflected their theme. We traced the shortest team members body to create the silhouette. The students had an awesome time making these and it really emphasized TEAMWORK!
