What are some tips on making a collage?

Answer 1

Well, the collage art form is fairly open, so there aren't rigid rules about how to do it... in general though, you would take the pictures that you chose (photographs, pictures from magazines, or graphical images from other sources), and glue them (or attach them somehow... mod podge... sticktak... whatever) all to posterboard (or paper, or a wall...). Many people will vary the way they trim the pictures, or the size of the pictures and how they overlap so that they look good together. You could make one picture the central theme and then add pictures that relate to that central picture somehow, or you can match horizon lines in a bunch of photos in a line to make a sort of related area, even though they are different places. ... There are a lot of interesting things that you can do with a collage (pictures, or words, or a mixture, or candy, or ... anything)... but basically a collage is just a bunch of things pasted onto a flat surface. (They have other words for it when you paste stuff to a box or a book). :)

Some tips for making a collage are to pick a suitable background, it is easiest to choose one medium to work with, use a theme for the collage, consider adding embellishments, assemble the pieces before you glue them down, and draw the design out on the background so you can make sure it looks right.

You can make good collage pictures by first developing a theme and then cutting out the pictures in interesting shapes that match the theme and pasting them on the board. You can get more information about making good collages at the wikiHow website.
