All about Collage
A collage is artwork made by sticking different materials, such as paper, fabric, photographs or leaves, onto a surface. The word comes from the French coller, which means "to glue". Collages let artists combine colours, shapes and textures in unexpected ways.
To make a collage, choose a theme, gather materials in different colours and textures and arrange them before gluing. Layering pieces can create depth. Collage is a fun way to recycle old magazines and bits of packaging into art.
