Van Gogh Inspired Collages

1st Grade Woven Landscapes

 My amazing substitute did these while I was out for awhile. She took my lesson WAY BEYOND. This is a basic paper weaving project, but the idea is to use it as a landscape backdrop. She then had the kiddoes add symbols in a pattern on the weaving. The end result is striking.

I just love the clean collage details. These kids are amazing!
