How
to make a Montage
Theresa Schumacher as a model
Our class made family montages during art. We had to bring in copies of family photos to school (or we scanned originals and made copies). We cut the pictures out and used acrylic glue to paste them on a piece of lucite (plastic). If you would like to make one of your family, here are the instructions.
Materials :
Scanned family photo (as
many as possible so you can cut out different family members and put them
together in the montage)
Scissors
Acrylic clear glue
Tempera paint
Plastic frame
Felt (same size as the plastic
frame)
Glue gun and glue sticks
Decoration cord
Buttons
Rubber Cement
Procedure :
1. Cut out the family photos.
2. When you are done, use
a paint brush to put the acrylic glue on the plastic frame. Use light sideways
strokes.
3. Place the photos (facing
down) on the plastic frame. Rub your finger gently across each photo making
sure that there are no air bubbles.
4. After you have checked
there are no air bubbles left, use a paintbrush and gently apply
acrylic glue onto the back of the photos. Let it dry for 24 hours.
5. Mix tempera paint (any
colors you want) with about a tablespoon of acrylic glue. Use the tempera
paint to paint the back of the frame. Let it dry for 24 hours.
6. When it is dry, apply
rubber cement on to the top of the plastic frame.
7. Place a felt backing
onto the rubber cement.
8. You can decorate your
montage by using a glue gun and decorative cord around the edges.
9. Take the buttons and
glue it on to the part where the ends of the cord meet. Let it dry for
about 1 minute.
10. You're done! Now you
have a beautiful family montage.
