2. Collage
Collage is a form of visual art that assembles different
forms resulting in a new whole.
A collage may include newspaper clippings, ribbons,
bits of colored or hand-made papers, portions of other
artwork, photographs and other found objects.
These are then glued to a piece of paper or canvas.
The term collage derives from the French "coller," meaning glue.
