Collage

Collage is an art form that many artists across a variety of disciplines use to create works of art. Collage can be abstract, make connections that might not normally have seemed to exist. Sometimes collages that use mostly photographs are called photo-montage.

The word “collage” is from the French verb “coller” meaning to glue. Collage refers to 2-dimensional materials glued down to a 2-dimensional surface.

Assemblage refers to materials, including objects, glued down to a surface and often means that the work is 3-dimensional not 2 dimensional. 
For a collage to be successful there are a few elements that must be considered.
  • Composition: Composition is critical. All of the compositional techniques we've learned (rule of thirds, balance, objects touching all sides of space, creative relationship of positive and negative space, movement, texture, light, color, theme, form, line, space). Collage can be playful as you play and manipulate the shapes in relationship to each other but an innovative dynamic composition is critical.
  • Concept: Sometimes there is a theme or Concept, but sometimes the artist intuitively relates collage elements to each other based on color, texture or other choices.

  • Concept: The collage creates an abstraction (simplification of reality, non-representational, more about form, color and texture than the recognizability of the subject.) It is not usually supposed to represent something realistically. It can be more whimsical or less objective. 

  • Craftsmanship: Elements seem to be put together randomly, but there is a plan and craftsmanship in the way objects are glued and arranged.

Listed here are the many artists who have used Collage as a means for expression and design. Create a 2-3 Visual Journal collage designs  based on your research of at least 2-3 of these artists.  Research their style and the types of collages they create(d). Begin to develop your own collage ideas.  Do Not copy the artists' works, but DO be inspired by their ideas.
