Assemblage/Collage Boxes

Mrs. Styza introduced a really fun project to the seventh grade classes.  The students learned what assemblage and collage are, and how different artists, like Joseph Cornell, use them in their artworks.  They were then challenged to create a personalized assemblage/collage box for themselves or to give as a gift.  They were all given a generic, 5"x5" cardboard jewlery box, and were encouraged to bring photos, magazines, and found objects from home to create their projects.
