Art: A Saturday Collage Fest

“collage” (kuh- or koh-lahzh,) French — an assemblage of diverse elements or fragments in unlikely or unexpected juxtapositions; the technique of composing a work of art by pasting on a single surface various materials not normally associated with one another.

A composite of 6 different images, cut with scissors, positioned on a 5x7 inch substrate and hand-glued. This one is called “Maize Maker”
