Developing Collages: Artist Techniques
Developing Collages
by Afrika
Developing collages are very easy and natural for me. As I begin to develop each collage that I create. I first begin by laying out the materials that I will use for creating each collage which consists of paper, canvas, glue and old abstract finger paintings. Then, I apply glue on the old abstract finger paintings and begin to apply it on the surface that I will use in a strategic matter.
Each collage that I develop revolves around my heritage, culture, traditions and is full of energy, sensation and power.
None of the collages that I developed began with a preliminary sketch. I develop each of them with pure imagination and inspiration from spirit from beginning to end. It usually will take me between one day or weeks to complete the collage. The end result usually is different in each collage that I develop.
