Collage is a technique of an art production where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms or images, creating a new whole.

A collage can include magazine or newspaper clippings, textiles, paint, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to paper or canvas. The origins of collage can be traced back hundreds of years, but this technique made a dramatic reappearance in the early 20th century as an art form.  The term collage was coined by both Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso in the beginning of the 20th century when collage became a distinctive part of modern art.

This is an opportunity to play with images, text and ideas to create artwork that creates connections between disparate images and ideas to create a surreal image or tell a story – whatever you want!  Explore some examples of collage work done by masters of the technique to inspire you and then you will experiment and create using your own ideas. A range of images are available to you on the Internet, and you are encouraged to bring your own drawings, photographs or found imagery to use in your personal creations.

​

First, look at the photography work of Emily Blincoe. http://www.emilyblincoe.com/arrangements

​

Select your favorite work by her and put it on your blog with a short explanation why this image caught your eye. Find a variety of objects and items that can be used to create your meticulous arrangement. Find a simple suitable background for your shot. This could be a plain pillow case, large piece of paper, or anything large enough with no pattern. Set up your arrangement and be meticulous and pay attention to details. Make sure you are in adequate lighting, and please remember how important good lighting is in photography.Take a few photographs from above, looking straight down at your arrangement. Go in as close as you can. Make sure your image is tack sharp!  Never rely on just taking one shot. Edit your favorite photograph with PS or LR.

​

Meticulous arrangement of objects, which are then photographed have been used in advertising and commercial photography for years.
