What is a Collage?
We're here today talking about collages. For those people who may not be sure what a collage is, it is basically taking different types of media, be it paper, magazines, newspapers, print, clippings, photographs, postcards, wallpaper (anything that can be adhered to a flat surface) and assembling it in a creative way. This is a simple collage I made as a gift. It's in a frame, so it can be displayed. It can be sent, it can be folded up into a letter, whatever you'd like to do. Anything that can be adhered to a backing with tape or glue, or any sort of adherence material to make it flat and stick will work.
