A while back some members were looking for good mixed media lessons.
This lesson from Linda Smith is good for many grade levels:
Cut-up Non-objective Painting/Collage:

Linda teaches middle school at St George School in Spokane, Washington.
Linda does NOT show any examples at the beginning of this lesson.
Examples are shown later towards the end of the lesson.
Hope some of you try this lesson - It is always successful for Linda.
