The term collage derives from the French "coller" meaning “glue”. A collage is a work of art made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. Collage art is a great venue for recycling old magazines, jewelry, and fun tidbits. Varied materials such as beautiful paper, newsprint, photographs, ribbons, and found objects can be used. The origins of collage can be traced back hundreds of years, but this technique made a dramatic reappearance in the early 20th century as an art form of novelty.
