Collage has been explored by many different artists for hundreds of years and can be found in lots of different art movements like Surrealism, Pop Art and Cubism, and has been used by artists such as Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse.
To create a collage picture, gather lots of interesting and different coloured and patterned papers; you could also combine photos, newspaper, maps, old book pages, magazines images, wallpaper, cards, computer prints outs and packaging.
You might want to choose a theme for your collage that says something about you as an artist and reflects your personality and interests. You could use collage to create a surrealist dream-like picture or take your inspiration from your favourite objects, pets or even yourself and create a wonderful works of art combining lots of unusual recycled collaged materials.
