Fish Stamping Collage by Elan Ferguson






The Fish Stamping Collage project has several steps in preparation. The paper, fish and stampers have to be prepared before the class.

Supplies: Glue
Cardboard
Orange Paper
Blue Paint
White Paper
Roller for inking the stamper

First the stampers have to be made. I made mine out of cardboard. You can also purchase foam and/or stampers in any art store.
The paper is cut like a rectangle but the top has a scalloped edge. The children will create a repetitive pattern with the stamper and then glue the fish on the top. It can be hung differently. One class put them of the wall in a wave formation, another placed them all on a ribbon and hung it across the wall.
Vocabulary: pattern, repetition, printmaking
