ARTIST INFORMATION
Collage is a technique in which artists combine different kinds of materials together on a paper or canvas. KMAC Museum permanent collection artist Ebony G. Patterson's Behind the leaves and in the bed is a great example of this technique, combining photos, paper, jewelry and other small materials.
What materials could you use in your collage? Stickers, glitter, leaves, flowers, pieces of fabric, and scraps of paper are all great materials - but we bet you can think of even more! Create your collage and show us in the comments!
