Tips

A collage is a great opportunity to experiment with color, space, texture, arrangement, juxtaposition, and message. Make your collage however you want it, and don't be afraid to experiment with different techniques, images, meanings, etc.

If you enjoy image editing, try an electronic collage. You have the ability to change scale, transparency, clarity, tone color, and many other qualities of images you manipulate electronically. You can also combine digital and paper image editing by printing edited images to include in a paper collage.

A collage can be made even more fun and personal by adding bits of ribbon, stickers, word bubbles, candy and gum wrappers and borders with stencil or rubber stamping decorations

If you want to plan out your collage, you can lay the pieces down on the surface without glue, rearranging them until you have it just right. Then take a picture of the collage so you will know how to assemble it.

A three-dimensional art piece created by combining found materials may be called an assemblage.

Let your mind run free. Be random. Don't paste items in a straight line.
