“Creativity is about discovering new and meaningful relationships in the parts all around us.”

Welcome to the Collage World Workbook Volume 1.  Built around art and design principles like line, shape, texture, scale, and arrangement, this 80 page issue is a resource for collage artists and teachers.  Packed with more than 275 photos at different scales and perspectives, the images inside are meant to help you create collages with more depth and dimension.  Whether your work leans abstract, landscape-inspired, or representational, this workbook is designed as a set of materials you can explore, cut, combine, and build into your own visual ideas.

I hope that you enjoy this workbook!
