Scrapbooking Made Easy


This art project was fun and allowed students to design anything they wanted to. With the use of pictures and paper students can make anything they want. It can be as simple as backing a few pictures with paper, or as complex as putting stickers on and writing a little story about the pictures. This art project can be something easy and simple or something detailed and complex. It depends on the grade level that you work with. I decided to put on pictures from my trip to Washington, D.C. and then I added a little written explanation for anyone looking at my scrapbook.

Extension: You could link this art project with almost any subject within the curriculum. For math one could make the students use precise measurements and use shapes as a background. You could link it to social studies or science by having the students find pictures of different continents or places that they could travel to. They could then make a poster and hang it up in the classroom to promote the place they studied. They should also write little facts about their place but make sure there are pictures and lots of media used. Then after the posters are all made, students can put them into a huge book to show off.
