  have been pasted onto a 2-dimensional surface

• collage (From the French coller, to glue)
• This term was coined by both Georges Braque and
  Pablo Picasso in the beginning of the 20th
  century when collage became a distinctive part of
  modern art.
• work of formal art, primarily in the visual
  arts, made from an assemblage of different forms,
  thus creating a new whole (work of art)
• Use of this technique made its dramatic
  appearance among oil paintings in the early 20th
  century as an art form of groundbreaking novelty.
  
• An artistic collage work may include newspaper
  clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or hand-made
  papers, portions of other artwork, photographs,
  and such, glued to a piece of paper or canvas.

• Techniques of collage were first used at the time
  of the invention of paper in China around 200 BC.
  The use of collage, however, remained very
  limited until the 10th century in Japan, when
  calligraphers began to apply glued paper, using
  texts on surfaces, when writing their poems.
• The technique of collage appeared in medieval
  Europe during the 13th century.
• Gold leaf panels started to be applied in Gothic
  cathedrals around the 15th and 16th centuries.
  Gemstones and other precious metals were applied
  to religious images, icons, and also, to coats of
  arms.
• In the 19th century, collage methods also were
  used among hobbyists for memorabilia (i.e.
  applied to photo albums) and books (i.e. Hans
  Christian Andersen, Carl Spitzweg).

what you need to make a collage Old magazines
or catalogs Old greeting cards Square
of heavy paper or cardboard for the background
surface White glue Scissors Glue
Yarn for trim and hanger Your own art work
poems tissue paper stickers Your
imagination
Gather any old greeting cards that you can find.
Christmas cards, valentines, birthday cards,
whatever kinds of cards you have will do fine.
First make sure that you're not cutting up
somebody's special card! Ask permission before
you begin cutting. Then cut around the designs or
pictures you wish to use and lay them aside.
Dispose of any waste paper. Next lay out the
pictures on the square of heavy paper or
cardboard you will be using for the collage
background. Overlap the pictures. You want to
make sure none of the background will show. After
you are satisfied with your layout, carefully
remove the pictures and lay them on the work
space beside the background. Try to lay them out
in the order you placed them on the background.
Smooth a thin layer of white glue on a small
section of the background. Begin placing your
pictures on the background. Don't use too much
glue or the edges of your pictures will curl!
Using a gentle touch, smooth the pictures. Make
sure the edges overlap. Repeat this step until
the surface is completely covered let the glue
dry. Drying time may take an hour or more,
depending on how much glue you used. To be safe,
let the collage dry overnight. After making sure
everything is completely dry, trim the excess
paper away from the edges of the background.
