Jazz music collages

This project was fun for the students. We studied Picasso although this is not a cubist project by any means.

1: print off a crap ton of sheet music

2: have students rip paper to irregular pieces of paper around 2x2 inches

3: glue down sheet music pieces, make sure to overlap and keep the direction of the notes random

4: draw a guitar (or anther instrument) in the center of the page using bare lines

5: using watercolors to paint the background cool colors (let them mix up a little)

6: paint guitar with warm colors

7: outline with sharpie when completely dry

Supplies: paper, sheet music, glue, sharpie, watercolors
