Teacher:
1. Introduce the artwork of David Hockney.
2. Divide students into groups of 2-4.
Students:
1. Select an area of the campus to use for their collage.
2. Set up camera on tripod and take 50-75 photos of every single angle of the scene.
3. Print photos on a color printer (2 photos per A4 paper works well).
4. Cut out photos
5. Collage photos together by placing them on craft paper and gluing them down.
Students will be assessed on their ability to work in a group and on their use of the elements and principles in the completion of their collage.
This was an excellent collaborative activity that provided students with the opportunity to create collages that showcase our school.

I did this with high school and one time use cameras, but I think this idea is great for middle school students. How do you handle how many photos each member of the group takes and grading?
