COLLAGE MAKING

CONTEST

INTRODUCTION Collage techniques give students another creative way to express themselves. The main purpose of the collage exercise is to help young people grasp the invisible nature of Nutrition and demonstrate how to give emphasis to it by creating a simple image depicting Nutrition from normal everyday materials. In todays society, images say it all, especially when it comes to young people. The written media aimed at adolescents is almost comic-book like a multitude of photographs, pictures, cartoons and graphics, but little in the way of words. Television, cinema, videos, computer games and all manner of electronic gadgetry bear witness to the desire to hook young peoples attention and send them spinning on a roller coaster ride of fast-changing images and special effects. Theres not much dialogue, but plenty of action. Society has created a younger generation of I want it all and I want it now, faster, louder, brighter! By contrast, images of food and nutrition are few and far between. It is an invisible phenomenon to most of the world, even within the countries in which it exists. Aim: Produce one collage on a classic nutrition theme. Gain: Stimulates visual and artistic expression and reveals how little print media coverage is given to such a huge subject matter of Nutrition. GENERAL OBJECTIVES At the completion of the contest, the student should be able to; 1. Create a collage using the suggested media to communicate about nutrition and health. 2. Express a sense of depth using foreground, middle ground and background. 3. Develop a basic understanding in collage work. 4.
