College is a modern art-making method that involves finding, assembling and re-purposing existing images. It's fun and can be anything from light hearted to deep and meaningful. ​

A. Sketch out an idea in your sketchbook.

- Cut out or tear images you like from magazines or print images you need.

- Glue images to the paper with a glue stick.

- Try adding cut out drawing or text or even sewing with thread.

- One everything is added, cover it with a thin layer of gel medium, applied with a foam brush.
