Collages are a form of art where people either use photos and arrange them in shapes or in ways that are meaningful to them or to represent something and create a picture. A collage can also convey a feeling, a memory (like a birthday or holiday), or can be like a “vision board” where people use pictures to remind them of goals and of things they would like to do in the future.
Pictures can either come from the internet and be printed out, or cut from magazines or other pictures that are already printed, or could even be drawn by the artist. Some collages have the images overlapping, others have the images separate with space in between. It’s up to the artist!
Today, see if you can try to make a collage! It can be a bunch of pictures that are meaningful to you, it could include different drawings used to create a new picture, or it could be a project of your own design using different images put together!
Below are some examples:
The artist below arranged the pictures in a heart and have photos of different kids. These kids could be their family or they could be pictures from their work as a photographer or maybe there’s a different meaning behind the images!
The artist below also arranged their pictures in a heart shape, but had all animals.
The artist below used pictures from a magazine to create images of houses.
The artist below drew Mickey Mouse and added different Disney characters to colour in the spaces! (I loved this idea!)
