I created this work in my art visions classroom at Gable Middle School in Spartanburg, SC. I wanted to make a collage of my dog Bo because he is my favorite pet. I begged my mom for a dog for years and we finally got him 4 years ago. Bo is a big part of our family. I first made a sketch to plan the size and colors. I then sketched the design on my paper. I started tearing different magazines to get the right colors and then I sorted them. I glued them with Elmer’s glue onto my paper, and when I finished, I put a clear coat of Mod Podge on to seal my work. We put it in a frame and hung it in our den. This is my favorite piece of artwork because it is personal to me.
