Art in which bits and pieces of paper 2-dimensional surface
Art in which bits and pieces of paper and fabric have been pasted onto a 2-dimensional surface •collage (From the French: coller, to glue) •This term was coined by both Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso in the beginning of the 20th century when collage became a distinctive part of modern art. • work of formal art, primarily in the visual arts, made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole (work of art) •Use of this technique made its dramatic appearance among oil paintings in the early 20th century as an art form of groundbreaking novelty. •An artistic collage work may include newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or hand-made papers, portions of other artwork, photographs, and such, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. •Techniques of collage were first used at the time of the invention of paper in China around 200 BC. The use of collage, however, remained very limited until the 10th century in Japan, when calligraphers began to apply glued paper, using texts on surfaces, when writing their poems. •The technique of collage appeared in medieval Europe during the 13th century. •Gold leaf panels started to be applied in Gothic cathedrals around the 15th and 16th centuries. Gemstones and other precious metals were applied to religious images, icons, and also, to coats of arms. •In the 19th century, collage methods also were used among hobbyists for memorabilia (i.e. applied to photo albums) and books (i.e. Hans Christian Andersen, Carl Spitzweg).

Christmas cards, valentines, birthday cards, whatever kinds of cards you have will do fine. First make sure that you're not cutting up somebody's special card! Ask permission before you begin cutting. Then cut around the designs or pictures you wish to use and lay them aside. Dispose of any waste paper. Next lay out the pictures on the square of heavy paper or cardboard you will be using for the collage background. Overlap the pictures. You want to make sure none of the background will show. After you are satisfied with your layout, carefully remove the pictures and lay them on the work space beside the background. Try to lay them out in the order you placed them on the background. Smooth a thin layer of white glue on a small section of the background. Begin placing your pictures on the background. Don't use too much glue or the edges of your pictures will curl! Using a gentle touch, smooth the pictures. Make sure the edges overlap. Repeat this step until the surface is completely covered; let the glue dry. Drying time may take an hour or more, depending on how much glue you used. To be safe, let the collage dry overnight. After making sure everything is completely dry, trim the excess paper away from the edges of the background.
