Collaborative “LION” artwork created by UNBSJ Education students
Each student created on small ‘square’ of the whole image, choosing a word that relates to ‘lion’. The letters were placed closely together and overlapped to create darker values. Then, all of the ‘pieces’ were arranged in order to create the collaborative image – a large portrait of a lion.
