Types of Media in a Collage
So we're here talking about collages and the first thing about collages is you have to have materials to use in the collages. Different types of media, magazines, whatever you like. I have some old postcards, some photos, some wrapping paper. I also have some old bingo cards that I got for free; I find maps, a bunch of different old books, and atlases. I also have other types of media like some old song books, stamp books to in some stamps. I also look for books of different languages just to kind of spice things up. This is an old French book I got for a $1.00 at a used book store. Used book stores are great places. A lot of times people throw out magazines. Or, you can go to estate sales or garage sales and find old magazines and books. Anything you can rip out and use that you think is creative and fun and different, that's what you want to do. This is an old French geometry book. So whatever you like and whatever you think the end user or the end recipient of the collage would like is good.
