Today’s ProjectYou are going to take some photographs around school to make a collage. You will need to choose enough photos to form a square after editing (minimum 9). Your camera should be on auto unless you know how to use the other settings.
Either choose to study colour or texture to focus on.
1. Colour: pick a colour, and take photos where that colour is dominant in the image.
2. Texture: rough, smooth, serrated, bumpy, brick, wood, metal...there are tons of textures to capture out there. Shoot close and fill the frame.

Home LearningFinish your collage of either colour or texture.
In groups of 4 or 5 you are now going to develop a group collage of the alphabet.
This might sound simple as we see text and writing everywhere we go in our daily lives. However, each letter you take must be created from an everyday object that you might also see in your environment.
Have a look at the examples on the next slides for some ideas.
