Lexicon Ferocious

These lexicon collages took a huge amount of time to do. First we found the words and put them on the back of the works. Then started to paint, pastel, marker, crayon, and carve out things that helped the word make sense along with the meaning of that word. The final piece was brought together by adding an element such as a picture of idea which helped that word fit. My favorite turned out to be ferocious because the picture of the guy on my colloge really brings it all together.
As an extension, one could use this as a beginning or ending to collages. This could easily tie into other colloge making pieces and help the students realize that all collages are not the same.
