An art project with minimal supplies and extreme personalization.
The collage I made today consists of excerpts from magazines, images from Instagram, and other sites.
Do you have a surplus of inspirational photos? Whether they are in a stack of magazines or on your Instagram saved section - time to finally put them in use.
With a little extra time on our hands it easier than before to waste time. SO grab your glue or tape and a sheet of paper. It is time to commit to starting and finishing something. Something you can look back on to be inspired by. Or simply a project you can finish and never look at again.
Variations
There are so many options when it comes to making collages. For both examples I did mostly style inspiration with a few random pictures and quotes to balance out all the outfits. There are a couple of Pikachus that I actually printed from screenshots I took from a dancing Pikachu video. I also glued a couple of quotes that I found interesting online that I incorporated to break up all of the clothing.
If you aren't into style or don't feel like finding a bunch of style pictures than there are many other ways to create collages that may cater better to you. For example you could create a cooking or food collage with photos of food you love or recipes you would like to try and create. If cooking still isn't the focus you want in your collage you could do a music, meme, sport, art, book collage.
There are so many options so don't get caught up on decided want kind of collage you want to do or not just find pictures, quotes or excerpts that catch your attention and starting gluing.
Assembly
No rules, glue blindly if you prefer.
There is no pattern that must be followed when it comes to assembly. On my example collages I mostly layered and overlapped photos but I know for some people that can be a struggle, to feel that they are covering up all their beautiful cutting work may be frustrating. I have also seen some collages that use interesting tape as part of the art and the tape is meant to show. If you want to do this I recommend using Washi tape which comes in many different colors and designs. Any fashion that suits you will work out beautifully.
Start!
Don't delay! Start now! This can be a fast project to make you feel accomplished for at least doing one thing today. Good luck!
