Collaged Costume for Cardboard Figures

In this activity, learners will create experimental mixed-media costume designs on cardboard. They will use collage, guided by the materials, to make their designs, exploring texture, shape, composition and colour, with a final transformation from 2D to 3D.

This activity is aimed at ages 12 and upwards, but with additional support, can be explored with younger children.
