Another first in my personal art work here at THD. For the first time in my over than 90 years here on Planet Earth, I tried making my first collage work. I am super happy with the results, because I incorporated in my work, the words SMILE and BE GRATEFUL. Thank you, Ted for the fun one hour of activity. The flyer is attached.
So what is Collage: Collage (/kəˈlɑːʒ/, from the French: coller, "to glue" or "to stick together" is a technique of art creation, primarily used in the visual arts, but in music too, by which art results from an assembly of different forms, thus creating a new whole. (Compare with pastiche, which is a "pasting" together.) Collage may refer to the technique as a whole, or more specifically to a two-dimensional work, assembled from flat pieces on a flat substrate, whereas assemblage typically refers to a three-dimensional equivalent.
A collage may sometimes include magazine and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paint, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. 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.
The term Papier collé was coined by both Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso in the beginning of the 20th century when collage became a distinctive part of modern art.
Here are other photos from THD Participants:
Meanwhile, here are Expressions of A Cat's Feelings, I could Identify very well!
Finally, Here are some photos from our THD Court Yard, I took on my Way to the Collage Activity last Thursday Afternoon at 3PM.
I did not realized I enjoyed this activity more than water color painting, since it is less messy and you have choice of materials to make your collage. How about decoupage next time?
Collage and decoupage are both artistic techniques that involve assembling cut-out images or materials, but they differ in purpose, process, and effect.
| Feature | Collage | Decoupage |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Artistic expression | Decorative craft |
| Materials | Varied: paper, fabric, objects | Mostly thin paper (napkins, prints) |
| Surface | Paper or canvas | Functional objects (furniture, trays) |
| Finish | Textured, layered | Smooth, lacquered |
| Origin | Modern art (20th century) | Decorative arts (17th century Europe) |
