This 2 part video on getting started is intended for anyone who is new to doing collage art, or anyone who has already had experience with collaging but would like to find a new interest or get some new ideas about collecting scraps and making collage art. The goal of doing collage art is to enjoy using up scraps you've collected, and to gain confidence in creating a collage composition.
In part 1 I talk about the materials you use, such as the type of collages you can make, and then give you ideas of where you can collect scraps.
For a copy of my list of ides for gathering scraps, see my blog post:

My current fascination with collage is because it is so different than how we did it back in art college 30+ years ago. Collage art has always been my very favorite process and your collages aare done very much like what I know to be collage.

Well, I’m not on the cutting edge, being 5 years behind, but no matter, here I am! I realize that I have lots of things which fit into your categories, so now I have to figure out how to organize all these different paper scraps. I’m not intimidated (yet?!) so I’m going over to my desk to get started sorting & organizing. I’ve got a small book that I’m going to use, so I won’t have really big spaces to start with at first! Thanks so much! Erica❤

Thanks again for the great inspiration.

Thank you, Margarete. This makes me itch to get out all my scraps of everything and start creating! I love doing this stuff, and it is so great to find out that it is ok to collage for no other reason than that it is fun! And that there is a purpose for all of the stuff that I can't bear to throw away. I feel vindicated! Your work is beautiful.

So many fantastic ideas! I especially appreciate your suggestions about paint chips as prompts by color (I've been collecting them for years but haven't done much with them), postage stamps, Trader Joe's illustrations, Ikea's multi-language instructions, and using receipts for dates. You might enjoy looking at Duluth Trading co. illustrations (remind me of Trader Joe's--no collage, but cool illustrations of the clothing items--great for making paper dolls!), and using Google Translate to put any text into another language (and even other scripts), then printing it out to use.

@MargareteMiller 6 жыл бұрын

Hmmm, Google translate. That's a great idea. I use that all the time. I have used Duluth Trading Co catalogs before. The titles are fun to cut out and use. :-)

OK. I may be inspired to try once again without staring at my mess of this and that. Maybe I could some images out to begin with. My feedback is for watching both part one and two. I may consider no pattern tablecloth it may help me focus more on the smaller of detail It seems so trite but after looking at your whitish surface a bulb went off for me. You were easy to understand. I will start my week with a little challenge. I was wanting to begin an important Journal, I see that may not be wise. Thank you so much.

When you suggested items from work, but you didn't have an example.... After the holidays, I get the Christmas cards sent to my employer. I then cut them up into gift tags, bag/package, decor, and bits could be used for collage too. :)

@1888starz 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks for all your advice. I love collage art, it is so much fun. I use about 3 different types of glues (sometimes at once) but double sided tape is good when you want to just display something, whilst PVA glue or similar goes best when making pockets etc as the added tags don't stick. Also, there's nothing wrong using staples instead for tuck spots etc.

Yes! You've got a lot of great advice there. Thanks so much for that! :-)
