Vocabulary ·

Collage, from the French word coller, to stick, is a visual art, which is accomplished by gluing objects to a central backing. Two-dimensional collage made with photographs, ribbons, and pieces of magazines and newspapers is a common incarnation of the form. However, structural collages made from found objects such as wood and figurines are not uncommon. The material used in a college can be both original and borrowed, and the medium is limited only by the imagination of the artist.A collage is a visual representation of ideas, emotions and understanding in response to a specific topic, concept, situation or issue. A collage may include words, it is usually composed of a variety of visual materials such as photographs, magazine pictures and scraps of cloth and paper
