DETAIL
To Create Collage:
Add layers starting from the back to the front.
Arrange cut images, shapes and textures before gluing down.
Don’t glue as you go in case you change your mind.

Textures
Visual Textures such as sky, water, ground, hair can be created by using the Mosaic Technique of cutting up the right color and texture into small pieces and
assembling into one larger area.
CrossMy old man’s a white old man
And my old mother’s black.
If ever I cursed my white old man
I take my curses back.
If ever I cursed my black mother
And wished she were in hell,
I’m sorry for that evil wish
And now I wish her well.
My old man died in a fine big house.
My ma died in a shack.
I wonder where I’m going to die
Being neither white nor black?

Creating Images
A whole image can be created from several parts….

Another Collage Movement
The surrealists were some of the first artists to use collage as a medium.
They assembled all sorts of images to create strange dreamworlds.
These are the same people who invented the Exquisite Corpse game.
