Collage

Home » Glossary » Collage

Collage is a technique used in art and design where various materials such as paper, fabric, photographs, and other found objects are combined and arranged on a surface to create a new composition. The word “collage” comes from the French word “coller”, which means “to glue”. The process involves cutting or tearing various materials into different shapes and sizes, and then arranging and gluing them onto a surface to create a new visual composition. Collage can be used to create both abstract and representational art, and is often used in mixed media art, graphic design, and advertising. It can also be used as a therapeutic tool for self-expression and exploration.
