Do you run exploratory art stations or art centers in your classroom or art room? Then you are always needing new ideas for independent activities that students will enjoy. I started creating Visual Guides for my students to use independently, step-by-step for mini projects to work on in the collage centre. Projects that build technical skills while allowing personal interpretation. These worked so well that I wanted to share them with you too.

When students can independently work at a choosing center, you can get on with supporting those students that need more help. Also fabulous when you have early finishers that need an activity to go on with, while the rest of your class finishes the current class project. Or use as a filler activity for those extra sessions and works well for a sub lesson too.

Created for my classroom and suitable for students in 2nd - 5th grades. This Visual Guide for a collage art activity of Giraffe Landscapes was created for my collage & painting centers, and useful as a supporting activity for the following art station guide, available HERE...

❤️ Why should I run art centers in my classroom? Isn't that just for art teachers?

The short answer is NO.

We can no longer omit art explorations from our classrooms.

Art can make a powerful contribution to our students' mental health

In addition to helping students develop a number of important skills, free expression (like using art stations or art centers) is also good for overall health and well-being. Giving young children a creative outlet can help relieve stress and work through things happening in their lives. By encouraging artistic expression, you can help facilitate further learning and engagement. Making art can help children to deal with a wide range of mental health issues and psychological stress, like anxiety. View further information about this topic from Michigan State University HERE


✅ Print the art lesson Visual Guide's 3x step-by-step thumbnail pages - full size and in color (colour), laminate back to back and add to the COLLAGE or PAINT station for students to use independently.

✅ Introduce the art lesson to you students by sharing the PDF slides with full size photos, on your large screen, asking students to infer the steps, clarifying any misunderstandings and explaining your expectations. Then leave them to it and watch them grow in responsibility and self management. You can even put some students in charge of the clean up section on a rotation basis.

❤️ Take the stress out of prepping activities for art stations,

❤️ Avoid endless hours of research and resource creation

❤️ Avoid possible frustrations for students working on your guided COLLAGE or PAINT art projects, that result from not having time to explore a media or technique, beforehand, and build that crucial prior knowledge and confidence with this medium.

❤️ Have available as an early finisher activity between projects


❤️ why should you trust my lessons?

I am both a general ed. classroom teacher and currently practising as a Visual Art and Digital Media specialist educator, teaching students from ages 4-12, at a primary school. I do this every day, just like you! I’ve done it all for you and trialed these art station guides in my own art centers.


❤️ How will this resource help busy teachers, who are nervous about teaching art?

No worries - I’ve got you covered.

This visual guide includes the materials list and teacher information, giving you the confidence to run the activity in your own classrooms.


⏰ How long should I run an art station for? 

If you are an art teacher, then you can make that call based on your programme. For classroom teachers, I recommend that an art center stays open for at least a week, prior to starting a guided, whole class art project with that medium.

Then for another week after completing that project, so that early finishers can further experiment independently.

View the previews above, then add to cart and smile, knowing you can set up & run your art station with confidence.


❤️ So what is special about this resource?

This art activity introduces students to the medium and techniques of COLLAGE and PAINT. It uses easily available resources and lends itself to creative diversity.

Students get to express their unique ideas through personal choices and modifications, while working at the COLLAGE or PAINT art centers, bringing personal creative ideas to the activity.
