Positive/Negative Still Life Collage

The fourth graders observed the contour of separate still life objects.  They drew the contour line of each object on a separate small black construction paper.  They cut them out and saved the cut-out as well so they had the positive and negative piece.  They were then given liberty to create a composition from the pieces.  I also supplied them with hole punchers and the fancy-edged scissors.  These examples were done on 9 x 12 construction paper.
