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.
