Sponge, scrape, and stamp every ounce of color out of your acrylic paints with textile artist Sherrill Kahn. In this mixed media DVD workshop, you’ll discover textures that enliven any paper or fabric project, from collages to clothing. With no brushes or drawing skills required, beginners will feel welcome, and experienced artists will find quick and innovative ways to add color to collage. Sherrill sponges down base colors at breackneck speed before helping you master a variety of painting tools. She layers opaques with craft sticks and scrapers, flows liquid colors into fabric, and adds metallic accents with an applicator tip. Sherrill re-stamps, recycles, and experiments with leftover paint, helping you get the most from your materials. She paints on cotton, card stock, interfacing, and more, and each surface produces equally striking results. She combines paper and fabric as she finishes the workshop with two complete collages. Add punch and pizzazz to any craft project in Acrylic Paint Pizzazz: Collage Techniques for Paper and Fabric with Sherrill Kahn.

Put patterns to work with mixed media artist Anne Bagby. You’ll create your own stamps, masks, stencils, and paper as you build a truly customized collage. Work fast and free, layering homemade paper and lush acrylic glazes to design an intricate and eclectic figure. Anne makes all her own collage materials.

This video is about making a collage out of leaves. You can use real leaves if you live somewhere where the tree leaves turn colors. Otherwise, you can buy fabric leaves at a craft store.

Of course, this is especially a fun activity for fall.

The word, collage, comes from the French word for pasting.  It is an art technique that consists of cutting and pasting natural or man-made materials onto a painted or unpainted surface.  A work of art made using this technique is called a collage.

Historically, the first collage was done by Picasso in 1912, when he pasted a section of commercially printed oilcloth onto his cubist painting entitled, “Still Life with Chair Caning”.

"Still Life with Chair Caning"

Other artists who have employed this technique are Braque, Dove, Gris, Malevich and other futurist artists.

These days, when most people hear the word collage, they using think of a photo collage.  This is simply a collection of smaller photos included to make one big photo.

Crafty persons probably think of a collage as taking bits of material or photos or snippets from a magazine or newspaper, and pasting them on something.  When I was younger, I used to make collages by using these items, and burning around the edges with a match, then pasting them to a nice board.  Then I would coat it with polyurethane and put a hanger on the back.

These days, I more often make a hybrid photo collage, in that I use a photo, then put bits of material on it.  This is called using “mixed media” these days. 

Whatever you want to call it, or however you wish to do it, collage can make some great works of art.
