In this series of 2 videos, AFK Artist-in-Residence Nadina Tandy shares
a collage activity in which students collect objects from outdoors,
create rubbings, and select playful collage imagery from a pdf “collage
kit”. Students then combine these elements to create an imaginary collage
creature. Nadina discusses how she incorporates play and experimentation
into her own artistic practice and she shares creative ways that she’s
displayed and reproduced her own collages.
The printable pdf collage kit, created by Nadina Tandy, can be found here.
