COLLAGE is artwork made by putting different materials

COLLAGE- is artwork made by putting different materials together such as cut paper and photographs and gluing them to paper or cardboard.

You can use images from magazines and colored or patterned paper to create your own artwork.

I like my pictures to barely come together with teasing little details. Sort of like how the mind can’t help but wander, even when trying to focus on one thing. In the collages, some of the little bits I use are deliberate, but in most I’m trusting randomness to help build an end result more interesting than I could have planned. One friend calls it a ‘Zen Narrative. ’ “ Derek Gores

Artist David Greenhalgh uses torn paper and strips of paper to create beautiful artworks.

David grew up in South Africa and returned to the U. K. as a mature student, and gained a B. A. Fine Art (hons)degree at Cardiff College of Art. He then taught Art and Design in a community college in Plymouth. It was while teaching that he started to work in ‘torn paper collage’ as he liked the impressionistic effect it produces and the unexpected depths, tones and moods it creates.
