What are some basic steps for making a collage?
By art coach | May 13, 2007
Use poster board or heavy cardboard. Choose a size that will be big enough for your pictures.
- ·         Gather pictures from a magazine, your personal photos, color paper and any two dimensional mementos, such as ticket stubs, that will fit onto the board and are light-weight.
- ·         Cut around the part of the picture you want to include in the collage.
Prepare the board
- All surfaces should be free of dirt and grease.
- If needed, sand surface to insure proper adhesion to smooth surfaces such as plastic, metal and glass.
- Absorbent Surfaces, such as paper, canvas and wood usually need no preparation.
- Arrange each picture and two dimensional object  on the poster board before you glue. Try different arrangements until you get one that looks just right.
