Creative Collage

The latest entry in the Paper Craft Workshop series shows just how easy it can be to express yourself with the popular art form of collage. Most of the elements needed for this technique come from "found” materials such as images from magazines and newspapers, making it a means of expression that is immediately accessible to everyone. The history of collage is explored here before going on to look at the specific techniques involved. Subjects covered include supplies, preparations, stages of design, decorative elements, gluing techniques, using and creating transparencies, and how to protect your finished work. An extensive list of sample projects is also included to get the creative wheels spinning right away.
