I did this project with a group of keen basketball playing 9-10 year-olds, most of whom had a very sketchy background in art and really lacked confidence. So, I tried to infuse their sporty confidence into their art lesson and it worked really well and they loved doing this project. The project started with them photographing each other playing basketball so that immediately piqued their interest, then we used the action figure for the first part of the collage which was a drawing based on their photograph. This is a nice quick mini project that should take 4-5 hours of class time but is a great way of teaching basics in figure drawing, composition and collage.
