I am Collage

The I Am collage project is a way to explore your identities, what stands out about who you are, and affirm those qualities.

MATERIALS:

• Large paper or canvas

• Assorted papers (cardstock, magazines, etc.)

• Essentials- Scissors, glue

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Make a list of personal characteristics and traits that can be used to describe you, focusing on affirming and recognizing your strengths. This can be fairly extensive, as you’ll use quite a few words on your collage.
  2. Draw the major areas or shapes that will be the background for the collage.
  3. Plan a focal area (the center of attention) where you’ll place the words “I Am.”
  4. Add the background pieces and shapes, then add the words describing you on top of the other materials.
  5. Take a moment to reflect on all of the various words and components that make up who you are.
