RECYCLED 'LOST' ART

We needed to replenish our collage/modelling supplies, so I sent a request home to parents for recycling material.  I got a great response and the children who brought stuff in were particularly enthusiastic about creating.  The flurry of (independent) activity resulted in an enormous pile of un-named pieces with only a few being claimed.  I hate throwing out the childrens art work so I decided to make a display with them.

 

I glued all the pieces onto two sheets of foam board with a hot glue gun.

The following day I set the boards up on a table and put paint, glue, glue sticks, sequins and other collage material on another and let them go for it.  

The result was a lot more restrained than I had expected and has given us lots of examples of 'patterns' for us to find this week as our maths focus.  I wonder though if the two panels might look better together to give the illusion of one big panel?
