Collage is a kind of art, which is very approachable for ordinary people. It encourages everybody to give a try on design. It is when people create a design by stick pieces of materials together. This kind of art is very convenient and sensible. People can simply turn trash into treasure! It is also very flexible in the forms it takes. Collage can vary from papers, bottles, buttons or clothes. For example, this quilt is made from a bunch of used jeans. Instead of just throwing them away, the artist cut jeans into different parts, rearranges them, then stick them together, and end up with a quilt!
This quilt below is also made of jeans. From these two quilts, we can see another advantage of collage. Designers can adjust composition easily and freely. It is an excellent way to improve designing skills for beginners and the materials are wisely reused!
