You’ve just finished writing your book. Now all that’s left is another arduous task of choosing and creating a cover for your book. Can’t decide what photo to use for your book cover? Gather your top photo choices in a collage book cover instead.

If you are utilizing heavier objects on your collage, I would recommend more durableoptions likewood glue. Techniques of collage were first used at the time of the invention of paper in China, around 200 BC. The use of collage, however, did not arise until the 10th century in Japan, when calligraphers began to apply glued paper, using texts on surfaces, when writing their poems. [3] Some surviving pieces from this style are found in the collection of Nishi Hongan-ji— many volumes of the Sanju Rokunin Kashu. Most of these can be found around the home but if you don’t have a lot of these items, try visiting your local recycling plant, secondhand stores, or libraries (for used book sales). I love usingthese 8×10 flat canvases.They provide good support and I don’t have to worry about the amount of glue I apply.

Mod Podge, as previously mentioned offers a durable coating, and is waterbased and non-toxic – so it’s easy to apply if working at home or in a space with limited ventilation. Alternatively a few layers of acrylic varnish, which is available matt, gloss and satin, will provide a durable and archival layer of varnish. Some varnishes also offer protection against the damaging effects of UV light.

Much wood collage art is considerably smaller in scale, framed and hung as a painting would be. It usually features pieces of wood, wood shavings, or scraps, assembled on a canvas (if there is painting involved), or on a wooden board. Such framed, picture-like, wood- relief collages offer the artist an opportunity to explore the qualities of depth, natural color, and textural variety inherent in the material, while drawing on and taking advantage of the language, conventions, and historical resonances that arise from the tradition of creating pictures to hang on walls. The technique of wood collage is also sometimes combined with painting and other media in a single work of art. https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/reduce-the-file-size-of-a-picture-in-microsoft-office-8db7211c-d958-457c-babd-194109eb9535 Another item you’ll need for collage art is an appropriate adhesive.

Glossary of Collage Terms

Simply search for the type of images you are after, and drag them straight into your design. Upgrade your picture collage with special effects You can either go with a theme or question in mind as you leaf through, like we did at school, or just go with an open mind and eye. As you look through try to pull out parts of images rather than full pictures. I often find it can help to hold whatever you’re looking at upside down to try to find something new in it. I cut out my pieces using a scalpel and a cutting board, but you can’t go wrong with scissors and ripped edges can offer some lovely softer texture. Try to have a mix of shapes and sizes by the end. If you’re collecting over a longer period of time, I highly recommend keeping bits in an envelope – you don’t want to lose your treasures! Despite the pre-twentieth-century use of collage-like application techniques, some art authorities argue that collage, properly speaking, did not emerge until after 1900, in conjunction with the early stages of modernism. Collage in the modernist sense began with Cubist painters Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. Snippets and fragments of different and unrelated subject matter made up Cubism collages, or papier collé, which gave them a deconstructed form and appearance. [9] According to some sources, Picasso was the first to use the collage technique in oil paintings. According to the Guggenheim Museum's online article about collage, Braque took up the concept of collage itself before Picasso, applying it to charcoal drawings. Picasso adopted collage immediately after (and could be the first to use collage in paintings, as opposed to drawings):

The wood collage is a type that emerged somewhat later than paper collage. Kurt Schwitters began experimenting with wood collages in the 1920s after already having given up painting for paper collages. [12] The principle of wood collage is clearly established at least as early as his 'Merz Picture with Candle', dating from the mid to late 1920s.

After inktober, I was feeling nostalgic from school art lessons. I missed making to learn and having someone else set me challenges. Every term’s project at school started with an inspiration gathering exercise that always included a good week of collaging. We would spend hours searching through magazines and draws of art cast offs to find hidden gems that sparked some joy. Then we’d assemble them into a beginning to an adventure. Knives are great for cutting a variety of materials. You can use large utility knives, craft knives or even desktop paper cutters. Mark Pytlik (November 2006). "The Avalanches". Sound on Sound.
