Me, Myself, and My Intials


Can you see the M.M.?In this activity, based on collage extraordinaire Pablo Picasso, students are asked to bring in either ten magazine ads or pictures of themselves from birth to present. Students take two pieces of construction paper and trace their initials on the first piece. Students then cut out so they are left with negative of their initials. Students then trace the negative outline on the second piece of paper. Students fill the tracing with pictures from magazines or their personal photos. Finally, the students glue their first piece with the cut-out initials onto the construction paper collage, so the collage shows through their initials. Teachers could do this with spelling words by having students write the word out and fill in with ads or drawings of what the word means or as a holiday piece.
