I (Jessi) started doing magazine scavenger hunts before starting a collage project or opening the collage center. This activity only takes about 20 minutes to do with students and helps organize the magazines. It also actively engages students to kick start their thinking about what elements they would want to include in their own collage pieces. All creative spaces can implement this activity as a way to organize the studio. In choice-based settings, facilitators can use this activity as an introduction and skill builder to opening the collage center. Students may even choose how to organize the magazine pages after completing the scavenger hunt.  Get Prepared The first step to preparing for the magazine scavenger hunt is to determine how students will store their found magazine pages. If the students will utilize their own findings, give them paperclips and ziplocks for safekeeping. If this is for the class to share or studio storage, set up some bins with labels of each category. Set out stacks of magazines around the room for students to search. Remember- NO scissors! This is a fast-paced activity and waiting for students to cut out each item will take up too much time. Explanation Explain to students how the scavenger hunt will work. The facilitator will have a slide on the board that shows what subject, topic, element/principal of art, or idea students need to search for in the magazine. Stress to students that there is no cutting, just rip out the pages and then find another one. They will have 2 minutes in each category.  Collecting and Keeping
If this is a collective effort for the studio, after the presentation of each category have students place their findings into the collective bin or tray. If this is an individual effort, have students label their ziplock and put it away for next time.
