Collages

 


“A collage is a piece of art that's made by gluing different materials onto a surface to create a composition. The materials can include paper, cloth, photographs, paint, and drawing. Collages can be unique, unusual, and eye-catching, and they can provide an interesting perspective on objects or convey the artist's message.The word collage comes from the French term papiers collés or découpage, which describes the technique of gluing paper cutouts onto surfaces.
