The website has loads of examples to view and inspire you and there’s more information on it here. Collect a group of images together ( in this case family images but for class purposes it could be individual portrait pics), choose the photo you want to mosaic and away you go. The picture above was made using a free download called Andrea Mosaic. It is, nonetheless, worth seeking out in its older format.

shape collage allows you control over the shape, background colour and spacing of the pictures but the full version is not free. If you don’t like the images merged together you could do a similar thing with Shape collage, although it’s worth looking for an older version as the new one leaves quite a visible watermark. The good thing about this is that it’s free if you’re a member o f Partners in Learning – and it’s not the only free download they’re offering! I think it would work well, with individual pictures of members of a class (plus teachers or support staff), as a take home memento. I’ve mentioned it before and I’ve used it for a few different things in the classroom. The above image was made using Microsoft AutoCollage and it’s a great program for merging photos together in a pleasant and artistic way. I’m sure it all evens out in the big scheme of things but I thought I’d share an end of the year activity with you that might be a nice way for any school leavers to take away memories of their class and friends. Our school broke up last Thursday but lots of you are still busy in the classroom.

But what I really thought you might like was another quick clip art tutorial showing how to make simple poppy images using Autoshapes. You could also try your hand at one of the art activities here or maybe create a stained glass or texture style image: all fabulous ideas in their own way. Andrea mosaic would be my tool of choice and there’s a bit more information about that here (including a poppy themed example). You might like to create some mosaic style images: poppies (any sort of flower really) are a particularly good subject for this – you just need to find the right images. You might be creating firework images using a suitable software package, or looking for ideas based around Children in Need, but I’m going to focus on poppy based ideas you could link to November 11th. So here we go…
Anyway, I thought it might be time to remind you of a few art based, ICT ideas that I’ve highlighted previously. A constant emery go round of events, or so it seems.
