The Process Have the children arrange their photos on the background sheet. Move the background out of the way while children coat the backs of their photos with a gluestick. A colored gluestick makes it easier to see that the whole surface has been coated. As the children press their photos onto the background with their fingertips, its helpful to offer a brayer so they can smooth each photo completely.	Now For The Fun Part It’s time to play dress up. For this workshop, I offered a variety of materials in trays. Each child approached dressing up their photos differently. Kids can rip and cut washi tape, trim scraps of fabric and colored paper and stickers, or attach other little odds and ends. They’ll arrange as they go, gluing lighter materials with a gluestick and heavier pieces with white glue (or hot glue with some help).	Other Projects To Try Prompt children to be visually descriptive in their art making. Ask them to imagine what it might look like to get dressed for a cold, snowy day, a special awards show, or a dig for dinosaur bones. What materials might you offer for each? Dress up other black and white pictures of animals, family, celebrities, or objects. What might a cactus wear? How about a goldfish? Create an environment for the dressed-up photos. Invite children to draw, paint, or use more collage to fill in the neutral background.
