For the final project for my curriculum about collage, students were asked to create a collage were they imagine what art piece would be created if one of the artist we have been studying in this unit (collage and otherwise) meet their favorite writers (author, poet, songwriter, screenplay writer, tweeter, fortune cookie writer, etc.) and the two created a collaged piece of artwork together. Students were also asked to make careful consideration about style and color choices as well as including some form of text with the piece.
While I didn't originally think about requirements as far as size, I would probably encourage my students to each create either a series of collages or to take a single collage and then paint it on a larger scale. My 'textbook' to look at was Lynda Barry's Syllabus. While I was interested in her approach to teaching and the ways she tried to get her students involved, but I found her design to be a bit chaotic. However, I think that having a visual element as part of a class syllabus and assignments makes them more appealing to students. So for my curriculum sketch, I decided to challenge myself to try to mimic some of her design methods to how I approached crafting my own curriculum. Here's a slightly more cohesive list I created while brainstorming.
