Collaging

Some things to think about when making your collage might be what kind of colors you want to include, how much negative space you want, what kinds of images you need, how much textural variety you want, etc.

You could create an image using different materials and textures. In this case, you might think about what picture you want to make and what kinds of colors and materials you would need to make it. On this page is an example of this kind of collage!

It might be difficult to find where to begin when making a collage. If you desire, your collage can hold some kind of personal meaning - almost like a vision board. If you want to theme your collage around a certain personal topic, here are some guiding questions that might help you get started: 

• What are my core values? How can I visually display them?

• What are my dreams and aspirations?

• What brings me joy?

• What story do I want to tell?
