Penguin Pete Collage

Introduction Question. Discuss with a partner.

This project will be the Penguin Pete Collage. 

This is considered to be a 4 art class, or 4 week, project: (If viewing from home then use 1 demonstration video per week).

Students will create 1 Penguin Pete Collage picture.

Collage - when other pieces of paper are cut or ripped and then glued to another sheet of paper to create a New Artwork.

Fiction - A fake or pretend story created by the author's imagination.

Layers - when things (like paper) are placed on top of each other.

Overlap - When something (like paper) is placed partway on top of another piece of paper.

If needed, there is an Introduction Video near the bottom of this site, and there are four demonstration videos (you can pause it at any time if needed). 

Materials to be used:  paper options are discussed in the demonstration videos; a pencil; paint; or watercolor paints or crayons or colored pencils or oil crayons (oil pastels); scissors; glue or glue sticks.

Penguin Pete examples: the example is 12"x18" and colored paper or paper that has been colored with crayons, markers, or colored Pencils. 

The bottom image of Penguin Pete is primarily created from crayons and is 9" x 12". This is the Penguin Pete that is created during the Demonstration Videos.

The first image below is the Sky background. The Second image is Penguin Pete 1/2 finished. The third one is a completed Penguin Pete.

1. As an artist, pay attention to how the colors change in the story to help create moods or feelings. How do the colors change to help create the time of day or night it is, and to help create a mood or feelings in the pictures that Penguin Pete may be feeling. Pay attention to the colors in the Background (the background is the back or rear area of a picture, the stuff that is in the back) in the book and the Foreground colors (the Foreground are the images in the front area of a picture).
