Collages are artistic compositions made by adhering different materials such as photographs, newspaper clippings, pieces of cloth or paper onto a backing such as paper, canvas or wooden panel. The materials used provide texture, color and visual interest to the collage composition which can include words, images or other paper elements arranged and rearranged until the artist is satisfied with the completed design. Collages allow artists creative freedom to experiment with different combinations and arrangements of materials to develop unique and original works of art.
