A collage can include newspapers clippings, ribbons, pieces of tinted or hand-made papers, parts of other artworks, photos together with other found materials that are clued to a piece of paper, construction paper or canvas.
Making collage art helps you change common elements like paper and found objects into a work of art. Since it is the month of October it is suitable to create a Halloween collage art, it’s particularly enjoyable to create because you can easily establish a feeling of spookiness or humor with old-fashioned Halloween cards, cutout words, and altered images.

If you’re creating a collage art with small children it would be advisable to view the pictures to make sure the images to be kid safe.
Second buy some card stock that has a Halloween, autumn, or spooky concept. Use it as the backdrop, or color a canvas stretcher board dark or midnight blue. You can also make it more artistic by having your own or the kids drawing on the collage art. It’ll give a hint of your individuality.
Third is look for pictures again you could find various online. Several art collage designers use Victorian photos, but you may use family pictures or cutouts from magazines and books. Good sources for pictures are thrift outlets and yard sales. Some graphic artists advertise collage sheets for download and printed out or delivered in the mail. Photos from Halloween greeting cards are also available in this format.
Forth attach the background to a support with clear tacky glue or a glue stick. Any kind of flat, solid surface that will not twist is appropriate. Use a board, a canvas stretcher, a paper mache or wood plaque, a playing card, or even a tag. You can also produce a shadow box through an empty candy jar or shallow box.
Fifth cut out photos. Cut witch hats from black paper, designed paper, or newsprint. Stick photo to the background and affix the witch hat. Clip words and phrases with a Halloween or spooky theme from worn out textbooks or magazines. Insert them to the collage.
Sixth add some extra in your collage art, such as cut outs from vintage or modern Halloween greeting cards, worn out jewelry and buttons, scrabble tiles, container caps with words stamped on them, fibers, and beads. Use chalks, watercolors, distressing inks or rubber stamps to focus on or add more features. Be as creative as you could be.
Seventh punch holes in the item and fix wire to hold it or maybe you may tape the Halloween collage art on the wall.
Collage art is really a fun pastime for you and your whole family members particularly if have small ones having wild imagination or creativity. It’s actually an art that you can preserve and show them when they grow older.
