Collage for the Soul

For many people art is at once a form of self-expression and discovery, and collage, based on the idea of spontaneously layering images and symbols, is a perfect medium for this process. This book approaches collage by theme, with five chapters representing 20 projects. These chapters deal with the expression of personal creativity, exploring and recording relationships, dreaming and wishing, finding inspiration in nature and creating visual memoirs. The instructions explain how to create a personal project, with necessary techniques and ideas for substituting personal themes and materials. The book concludes with a gallery of 26 projects by leading artists in the field, to inspire readers in their own collages.
