Summary


Collage allows your creativity to run riot。 It lets you juxtapose disparate elements, styles and media against each other and create something entirely novel, bizarre, arresting, beautiful, ironic or unsettling。 Old and new can be fused together; digital and handproduced can be combined。 What you can create with collage knows no bounds。

Expertly curated with an eye to the fresh, the exciting collection of new collage ideas will inspire collage artists at every level, from those dipping a toe in the art form to experts。

A fun collection of techniques by various collage artists, it really gets the creative juices flowing!

This is one of those books that's great to flip through and get inspiration。 I like the little blurbs about each artist and the techniques they use。 Favorites are Anna Hymas and her layered painted paper approach, Debbie Lyddon's cloth and paper landscapes, and Shelley Rhodes' tiny pieces of art using pretty much any material she finds at local secondhand shops。 A book of beauty and delight!

Not my kind of collageThis wasn’t the right book for me I am interested in more Art journaling type collage。 Techniques were interesting and useful

Alicia

Wonderful inspiration book。

Rochelle

Great little coffee table book filled with inspiring collage artists。Interesting insights into different techniques, models to follow and the leading source artist in this form。 Thoroughly inspiring。

Lovely presentation with tons of ideas but why it got 5 stars is that it sent me down a rabbit hole of new artists who use collage, and into creating Pinterest boards for future reference。here are earmarked pages:Create Art from Junk (20), Jason Mercier (because I need a reason not to throw *anything at all* away)Invent Hybrid Creatures (23), Amy ross - OMG I love her creations and I have the ephemera collection to set off in her direction (as well as some finished work from years back but she'l Lovely presentation with tons of ideas but why it got 5 stars is that it sent me down a rabbit hole of new artists who use collage, and into creating Pinterest boards for future reference。here are earmarked pages:Create Art from Junk (20), Jason Mercier (because I need a reason not to throw *anything at all* away)Invent Hybrid Creatures (23), Amy ross - OMG I love her creations and I have the ephemera collection to set off in her direction (as well as some finished work from years back but she'll start off again)Experiment with Embroidery, Jose Romussi - hand stitching and machine sewing - I'm into handstitching and I love her work - nice joining of favorite crafts aspects of mineMonoprint a Collage (51) Michele BrownCreate a Fantastical World (76) Ben Giles (a lot like Amy Ross or maybe just sort of, but definitely the same *feeling* for me)Using Stamps and Stencils (108) Angela CartwrightPlay around with Paper, Patrick Bremer (love love love)Each page is wonderful。 I could have earmarked all of them but I recognize which way I'm moving so I just earmarked the artists headed there。 If you like Collage, this is just a wonderful little resource! 。。。more

What I really loved, apart from the beautiful collage images, was the size of this book。 It is a little treasure! I fancy packing it into my bag when I venture out and being able to dip into it like a box of delicious chocolates。 Moore has curated a fabulous book with works from a diverse range of artists - providing something for everyone。 There are so many fantastic ideas: you can't help but feel inspired!

A showcase of many collage artworks by various artists, from which you can hopefully get some inspiration。 Many of the examples looked the same to me, or were built around the same concept/idea。

Chris

Very good look at many different ways to do collage using examples from collage artists。 This is definitely an inspiration book rather than a how-to。

Wash your hands。

For those asking for a larger format then the kindle version has huge zoomable pictures when used on the app。

Kate Cornfoot

Great book! Beautifully curated and successfully inspired me to make something! Would definitely be worth printing in a larger size because the art work included is stunning and begs a larger format。

Sarah

This book includes some talented collage artists with different approaches and styles。 I bookmarked a number of pages with inspiring images。 But I think the editor would have done better to choose a larger format。 The small reproductions rob many of the collages of impact, and those works with lots of small detail do not come across well。 Happy to have the book nevertheless。

A lot of good ideas throughout the book, with a lot of different styles。 I think the smaller size of the book makes it hard to get a good look at some of the artwork represented。 Two artists I discovered here that I'm certainly going to seek out are James Read (who lets painted parts dry and then cuts/reapplies) and Janet Jones (who uses the worn edges of torn papers as landscapes)。 A lot of good ideas throughout the book, with a lot of different styles。 I think the smaller size of the book makes it hard to get a good look at some of the artwork represented。 Two artists I discovered here that I'm certainly going to seek out are James Read (who lets painted parts dry and then cuts/reapplies) and Janet Jones (who uses the worn edges of torn papers as landscapes)。 。。。more
