11/26 Mayflower Collage

Since our last class falls right before Thanksgiving, I want to do a seasonal project, but without turkeys.  The Mayflower Collage with 3D elements is what I came up with.

We will look at photos of ships and discuss elements that they have (four masts, wooden, simple...)  We will do a practice sketch before going onto our good sheet of paper.  Students will create an ocean with different colors of torn paper.  The sky will be colored in.  Next the ship will be drawn on a brown bag adding some details with crayons.  The ship will be glued down.  The sails and some additional "waves" will not be glued flat - puffing them up a bit - to create a 3D look.
