Recreate a famous piece of art in your own style

What can I use instead of magazines, acrylic paint, or a heavy art board if I can't find them?

Use colored construction paper, fabric scraps, old greeting cards or cereal box cardboard for collage and crayons, markers, or tempera on sturdy printer paper as substitutes when you 'Gather the supplies' and follow the 'If you are making a collage' step.

My sketch looks wrong or my collage pieces won't stick—how can I fix these problems?

Lighten and correct proportions during the 'Lightly sketch the main composition' step, 'test colors and marks on a scrap paper before using them,' and secure collage pieces with stronger adhesives like school glue plus tape or a glue stick.

How can I change the activity for younger children or teens?

For younger kids, simplify by choosing one main shape, three pre-cut pieces and stickers for the 'Fill in the large areas' step, while teens can study the original closely, refine a color palette in 'Choose a color palette' and try bold pattern changes in 'Pick one fun change' before signing and sharing on DIY.org.

What are easy ways to personalize or make the recreated artwork more advanced?

Add texture with fabric, sand, or tissue layers and mixed media when you 'Add smaller details to bring important areas to life,' create a custom frame, write a short artist statement with your title, or make a series of variations using different color palettes before sharing on DIY.org.
