Life is a Collage

Perhaps, collaging could be the first time in this blog. I will be giving a blog post about collage.

You will need: a gray or light colored piece of hard paper, a pencil, an eraser, a glue stick, cardboards (optional), any materials that you want (ex. paint, colored papers, pens, pictures from the Internet). Mentioned again like before, light colored hard paper would make the collage be filled when the white background makes the artwork empty if there are empty spots.

For a collage, think of a topic. All the elements that are on the collage should kind of relate to one another. For example, I chose "festival" as my main idea for this collage. I chose the things that would relate to festival such as lights, scissors, and people who are quiet. Scissors in mine represent loud and excited people by using bright colors.

On the piece of hard paper, sketch out the things that you would like to fill in the spots. You don't have to sketch the whole draft out necessarily, but think about the things as you are working. You could make some volume to a piece of paper by adding cardboards on it. You could write words on them if you would like to.

There should be many or big things that should fill up a lot of space since collage is about filling the space with creativity. It isn't a collage if there are barely any elements in it.

You are done with your collage whenever you are satisfied with it!

This is my collage based on festivals.
This is part of my collage. It is closed
