Endangered Animals Collage

During this endangered animals collage project students will:

• Learn about or build upon existing knowledge about endangered animals and the factors leading to their endangerment.
• Practice collage-making techniques, including cutting and arranging to create a recycled collage of an endangered animal.
• Conduct research on their chosen endangered animal, gathering information on its characteristics, habitat, and conservation status.
• Through discussion, reflect on the impact of human activities on wildlife and consider how art can be used as a tool for advocacy and change.

This download includes:

• A 21-page PowerPoint informs students about a range of endangered animals and guides them through the collage process.
• 6 silhouettes of endangered animals (Mountain Gorilla, Vaquita, Rhino, Polar Bear, Leopard and turtle). Each is in 4 pieces that combine to make an approximately A2 artwork (42 x 59cms).
• A lesson plan.

Below is an example of how each animal silhouette comes in 4 pieces.

Materials required: Cardboard, old magazines, glue, scissors.

There are many more collage art lessons and animal art lessons on The Arty Teacher website.
