Collage


Collage is an artistic style in which “a work is made by pasting various scraps or pieces of material- cloth, paper, photographs- onto the surface of the composition.  To show an example of collage I chose to do a piece by artist Jess Collins. The collage is called “The Fifth Never of Old Near”. The medium of collage can change depending on what the artist chooses to use. The medium can be paint, cloth, paste, glue, or fabric. My favorite thing about the collage style is that there are no limits or rules. Artists can use print, photographs, or paint. The picture I choose shows what appear to be gods and goddesses. I am assuming that Jess Collins has some sort of religious background that inspired her work.
