Collage is one of the most common techniques in art creation. It can be used as a part of material experiment as well as an independent art form. Therefore, we often suggest that students can try to use collage to enrich the expression of the collection of works when creating, and believe that most students have some knowledge or practice of collage. Because there are no restrictions and no technical requirements in the specific operation process of collage, many students know that collage is simple and easy to use, but it is not clear which majors it is applicable to and how it can be used to excel. Now let's learn about the collage technique of the collection.

　　 Collage skills of works:

　　 1. Strong operability and high degree of freedom

Hand painting, software, photography and other techniques can only be mastered after a period of systematic learning. However, the introduction of collage is relatively simple. There is almost no requirement for "hand work", but more creative and aesthetic expression.

Secondly, collage has no restrictions on materials and venues. It has a very high degree of freedom. Simply put, a piece of cloth, a poster, a photo, as long as any material that meets the theme can become the material for our creation, which also greatly improves the efficiency of our creation.

　　 2. Strong visual impact

Collage works mostly contain many pieces of visual materials, which are very rich in color, content, composition and texture. Secondly, most of these materials are from finished products, which have certain aesthetic value. After being broken up and reorganized, they also bring a stronger visual impact.

　　 3. Perfect the inspiration material library

Another important function of collages is to participate in us Collection sketchbook layout Many links in, from recording inspiration, screening inspiration, material experiments, clear theme, sketching can contribute.

At each link of the students' early exploration of the scheme, collage can not only help us open our minds, quickly integrate the collected materials, and find the elements that can be used to trigger further thinking, until promoting the project development to our expected design effect.

　　 4. Increase the richness of works

We have repeatedly stressed that overseas art schools attach importance to the investigation and improvement of the creative process. Whether students take collage as part of our research or the final form of work, it can to a certain extent show the whole process of our creative thinking through practice to colleges.

In the creation process of art works collection, many students hope to find special inspiration and demonstrate their competitiveness with unique creation forms. But in fact, art creation is not just seeking innovation and change. The criteria for colleges to assess talents is also based on students' innovative thinking+solid professional skills, which reflects the artistic potential. Therefore, for hand-painted, collage The application of basic skills such as software is also a direction that needs students' attention.

Just like the collage technique we explained today, it can not only be used as the creation form of different professional works, but also become an important medium to stimulate inspiration and express design ideas to the admissions officer. I hope everyone can explore the most suitable style path through practice!
