Advanced Art students completed this as a warm up to a still-life drawing using charcoal. I asked the students to create a collage using magazines, Kraft paper, book pages, newspaper and sand paper. Students create their mixed media collage and then use this surface to practice drawing different forms with charcoal.
I spray painted several items white (cereal boxes, oatmeal canisters, round balls, milk cartons) that students use to set up their own still-life. Usually this takes about 2 class periods. So at the end of day 1, I snap a quick photo so that students can easily set up their still-life again the next day.
I try to give students PLENTY of opportunities for practice before starting a final project. This does wonders for their level of confidence and most kinks get worked out early on.

Love the collaged background -- it adds so much depth to students' pieces!!
