CREATIVE PAINTED PAPER COLLAGE:
A step by step style workshop.

Each student is able to incorporate their own unique elements into the image, making their own design choices along the way. In the end everyones is quite different. Kids are encouraged to share their stories of their travels and the animals and landscapes they have seen. We also look at the exhibition to gain an understanding of the diversity of WA.
