Mermaid Collage for Kids

Collage became part of modern art at the beginning of the 20th century. The word "collage" derives from the french word "colle," which means glue.

Essentially collage is art made with bits of colored paper, newspaper, photos, old artwork, and other objects glued to a canvas or paper.

The above pictures show the kids coloring, cutting, and assembling different forms using old white pages.

First, they colored the old white pages with different watercolor colors. Then, when dried, they cut the paper in the desired shape and glued it on a paper previously colored with an ocean blue.

This is the final result.
