Collages
Collages are an art form that involves using different media
together to make a new picture. Different media common in collages include
newspaper or magazine clippings, photos, colored papers, pages from books, and ribbons.
Collages can include other more uncommon things like old gift cards or things
from nature like leaves. After an artist has gathered all the objects they want
to use, they glue them onto a canvas or larger piece of paper. They can range from simple collages that have pictures arranged in a grid, to complex where the pictures overlap each other to make another picture or shape.
I enjoy doing collages because I think they are a fun way to
express your creativity. I usually use pictures I tear out of magazines or
photos I’ve taken, and I like to use them to decorate a box or the cover of a
journal. I’ve even made a collage on one of my trash cans with magazine pictures to make it less
childish. My most recent collage is made out of old iTunes cards that I used to
make a cover for a box I put pictures in. Collages are also a unique way to save old notes between friends or doodles you've drawn on your notes.

I like the collages that together make up an entirely different picture.

ReplyDeleteCompleted collages are so cool to look at and find all the different pictures or objects in them.
ReplyDeleteI've always liked collages but never though of using them to cover a trash can, I might have to try that.
ReplyDeleteMaking collages is a great way to get rid of old magazines.
ReplyDeleteThose are some really clever ideas! I'll have to remember them - I enjoy mod-podging with scrapbook paper to over old boxes and things.
