Love this collaged fish? There are many more collage art lessons and art lessons with an under-the-sea theme on The Arty Teacher website.
The PowerPoint step by step is nice with short description. What we need more of was basic collage instruction to be included. Didn’t realize that this exercise / project is for experienced collage students. Would be nice to have a rating next to the project like beginner, intermediate, advance or something. Or, just a short section talking about what type of paper work best for collage, what to look for when cutting, how to cut the shapes etc

Hi Ploy, Thank you for leaving a review. I have considered your comment and reviewed the project, and yes, you’re right, there could be more guidance for a student who hasn’t done collage before. I have added 4 new slides to the presentation which I hope you find give students extra support. You can redownload this resource, and any of your previous purchases, from your ‘Purchase History’ which you’ll find under your username. I didn’t consider this an advanced collage project, but as a high school art teacher who has worked with age 11 – 18, I would imagine most 11 year olds and above could easily manage this. I hope the new slides are helpful. I always appreciate feedback as it helps me to know what people want and to make my art lessons and projects even better.

I set up The Arty Teacher because I have a passion for my subject that I want to share with other art teachers around the world.
I have been a high school art teacher for over 20 years, so I understand what it’s like to be in front of a class of students, often with very different abilities and attitudes.
I wanted to develop resources that would help teachers to bring out the best in every student in every class. I also wanted to free-up staff from time-consuming lesson preparation to let them focus instead on delivering exciting, motivating, dynamic lessons, supported by excellent resources.
