Ask students what shape most pizzas are. Students will trace a circle on brown or yellow construction paper and cut it out.
Students color the "sauce" with red crayon leaving the edge of the "crust" showing.
Ask students what shape or line shredded cheese is? Students will cut out thin white rectangles for cheese and glue and overlap them on the pizza.
Demonstrate different topping shapes and question what shapes they are. (Pepperoni slices are red circles, mushrooms are brown semi-circles, sausages are brown ovals, olives are black circles, green peppers are triangles, pineapple are yellow squares, etc.)
Students glue and overlap topping shapes.
My students LOVED this project! Most kids love pizza so it is a sure hit! It makes everyone hungry!
Art Academy: Collage It

Now here’s a chance for kids to release their inner artistes and create modern collage masterpieces of their own. Each practical kit comes with a set of basic collage essentials, as well as a 48-page book filled with the inspiring stories of famous collage artists like Robert Rauschenberg, Joan Miró, Gustav Klimt, and contemporary artists like Nam June Paik. Kids can challenge their creativity with the 20 exciting art projects including their own Matisse-inspired disco dancer collage.
