How to make your kids inspired collage artists

I love making collages, I just can’t stop, and I don’t think I ever will. And I’m trying to get everyone else hooked too, or at least to get some company while I make my art journal entries, which I do almost every day now.

How to make your kids into to great collage artist

So I set the table with mom’s old gossip magazines (Hemmets journal and Hänt i veckan), one glue stick each and some pens and papers! And they did the rest…

Here are some pics from when I caught my brother and his friend Jeppe in front of the computer and dragged them to the kitchen table – to make art with me!

Jeppe made a Love and war-themed collage, his first – and commented:
– Is collage your hobby? Can that really be a hobby?

But after he browsed through my Art journal he said:

– Wow, Hanna, this is like art…

(and I smiled and was very proud!).

My little brother Mikael, soon to be a teenager, was most inspired by his own game magazines and cut out players and dark backgrounds. For the moment at least we were all very inspired collage artists.

Both boys were pleased with their work. So was I of course! Thanks for playing guys!
