Week 1- Students discuss Revolutionary War Heroes in Social Studies class (They are assigned their hero and a partner. They begin their research in class.) 1.

Introduction to the elements and principle of art and how we can use a variety of media to create a collage about their war hero. 2. Students begin to cut out images and create a layout for their collage design. (At this time they outline their images for placement but do not glue them until their design is finalized) 3. Students now figure out how they are going to incorporate words and drawn images into their design and sketch it out on their paper. Week 3 and Week 4- Finalizing their Design 1. Teacher Demonstrates how to glue on images and begin to add color to their art work. 2.
