Students explored shape, colour, texture, pattern and composition using found materials such as discarded wrapping paper, magazines and packaging to create these coral reef collages. Prior to creating the collages students researched the paper cut collages of the artist Henri Matisse.       

Using only found and unwanted papers this project focused on highlighting sustainability and reducing the impact our actions have on the environment. 

These collages were created as part of larger under the sea scheme of work focusing on using the creation of artwork to raise understanding of a range of environmental issues such as coral bleaching and plastic pollution.
