We started by picking a picture to use. We chose from different Christmas pictures. We stapled the picture onto the top of our choice color of construction paper. We then used an exacto knife to cut out the picture. The next step was to choose the colors of tissue paper we would use. We were told to pick a color sceme. I chose to use the primary and secondary colors. We cut out pieces of tissue paper and glued them to the back of the cut out picture. Once we covered all of the open areas, we could cut out around the outside of the picture.
Another activity you could do is start with white construction paper. The students will use a black marker to draw their picture. They will then put elmer's glue over their marker lines. Once the glue is dry they will use primary colors for the picture and secondary colors for the background. The students will choose their medium. For the fourth and fifth graders, I would try and direct them to use watercolors.
