Collage Art

Category: <span>Collage Art</span>

Collage art combines different elements to create a new piece of work. Collage artists work with paper, fabric, photos, found objects and/or other ephemera to tell their stories. Starting with a base or substrate, they add and take away bits and pieces of material to create a finished work of art.

You, too, can create collage art to express a vision, tell a story or preserve a memory.
