Please Note: These works below are 1st drafts. If you like any of these, as is, I suggest you make copies of them, because at some point I may replace them with 2nd drafts. I'm thinking the power point slide shows are probably not that useful, so they may be eliminated.
BOOKLET: COLLAGE with PAPER (File size: 7.3 MB)
This 40 page book is filled with helpful information, techniques, lessons, examples and more about paper collage.
 
LESSON: COLLAGE-Divide the Circle (File size: 1.62 MB)
This is a 12 page Booklet with lesson and plenty of examples to create beautiful radial designs by dividing a circle. This lesson is inspired by Ed Emberly's "Divide the Pie" book.  More information on this and other paper collage lessons, techniques, and posters to promote conscious work habits can be found in the book "COLLAGE with PAPER".
 
 
ABOUT the ARTIST: Matisse (File size: 760 KB)
 Bio about the artist Matisse. He dabbled in many kinds of art. He is known for his collage work.  That is why I have included this here. I believe studying what has been done before, along with learning techniques helps to open up a world of possibilities.
SLIDE SHOW: Matisse the Artist (File size: 3.9 MB)
This Power Point Slide Show is a brief story of his life and work.
 
SLIDE SHOW: Molas- Panama Artists & Student Work
This short Power Point Slide Show is examples of Molas from Panama and examples of 2nd grade student paper mola work. The one page lesson that goes with this Slide Show and much more information can be found in the book "COLLAGE with PAPER".
