    This lesson plan teaches students about form in art through torn paper projects. In the first activity, students will tear paper into shapes to glue onto a background sketch to create a collage picture. The second activity has students tear paper strips to apply in layers onto an object to create papier mache sculpture, which is then painted. The plan provides materials, objectives, and step-by-step instructions for both activities to explore form through creative torn paper art. Examples are included for inspiration.

    Form using Torn Paper Lesson Plan

    A form is an artist's way of using elements of art, principles of design, and media. Form as an element of art is
    three-dimensional and encloses space. Like a shape, a form has length and width, but it also has
    depth. Forms are either geometric or free-form.
    Materials:

    • Large Paper for background


    • Smaller paper to tear for the picture
    • Newspaper
    • Glue (stick or squeeze)
    • coloring markers, pencils or crayons
    • pencil for sketching
    • flour, salt and water (for papier mache in activity #2)
    Objective: Students will learn how to tear paper into pieces which can be assembled to make a new picture while
    exploring the use of form in art, creative thinking, and sensory and fine-motor development.

    In Advance: gather paper from different sources. You can use magazines, newspapers, advertisements, construction
    paper and even copy paper that has been colored by pencil, marker or crayon.

    ACTIVITY#1 Torn Paper Picture (see example #1 and #2)

    1. Students choose one sheet of large paper for background. Sketch image in pencil onto background sheet.

    2. Using shared scraps, tear shapes that correspond to the shapes in the sketch. Compare sketch and torn piece regularly
    as the shape is developed to match the original sketch as closely as possible.

    3. Glue the torn pieces to the appropriate areas of the design. Using a brush to apply glue helps keep the project clean if
    you are using squeeze glue.

    Activity #2 Papier Mache Torn Art (see example #3)

    In Advance: Papier Mache is a fun project but can be messy and you will need a solid object to wrap the paste mixture
    and paper around. For this activity I recommend using a simple object that is easy to work with like a can or jar that isn’t
    needed. If you want it saved for later cover the object with plastic wrap or a plastic bag before starting.

    1. Tear up a bunch of newspaper or advertisements you receive in the mail. The thinner paper the better. Its also
    better to tear the paper than cut it since the rough edges stick together better
    2. Mix flour, salt and luke warm water in a mixing bowl. Put the flour and salt into the bowl and gradually add luke
    warm water and mix with your hands until you have a smooth paste that is neither lumpy or watery. It should be
    like a thick, creamy soup. If you line your bowl with an empty plastic grocery bag you will be able to contain the
    mess and throw the bag away when you are finished. (basic paste recipe - ratio of 1/2 cup of flour, large
    spoonful of salt to 1 cup of warm water)
    3. Slide a piece of paper through the mixture and wipe off any extra paste back into the bowl and lay the strip onto
    the object you are covering. Continue laying strips of paper on the object trying to cover the entire surface with
    one even coat. After the 1st coat let it dry in a warm place until dry. Add 2 or 3 more layers and let dry between
    each layer. After its dry you can paint or color you sculpture any way you want

    Examples: Attached are some examples of torn art your student can use for inspiration. There are several other
    examples online as well.
