WOOL COLLAGE

Collage (from the French: coller, "to glue" French pronunciation: ​[kɔ.laʒ]) is a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.
A collage may sometimes include magazine and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paint, bits of coloured or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. The origins of collage can be traced back hundreds of years, but this technique made a dramatic reappearance in the early 20th century as an art form of novelty.
The term collage 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.

However, Collage work can also be achieved with the aid of knitting wool. This work can therefore be called 'WOOL COLLAGE'. The technique used to create object on a surface using wool of different colours. Objects like nature, still, life etc can be achieved using this technique.

Note: The works you see on this page are carried out by my Key Stage 3 learners.

MIXED MEDIA

Art is about EXPRESSING ones feelings in written or visual form. It tolerates self expression. 
However, Self-expression the expression of your thoughts or feelings especially through artistic activities (such as painting, writing, dancing, etc) 
The Artwork here is a typical example of self expression whereby, combination of strips of newspapers, strawboard, chalk pastel and acrylic paint are used to carryout the art piece.
Inotherwords, this art piece can be termed a MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

Mixed media painting is one which combines different painting and drawing materials and methods, rather than only one medium. Any material can be used, including collage items such as pages from magazines, newspaper, photographs, fabric, soil, or packaging. However, mixed media piece can also be as 'simple' as using two media, such as acrylic paints with pastel on top.

Mixed media isn't a 20th-century phenomenon, although in previous centuries artists were less experimental in what they used. For example, gold leaf was often added to church paintings; Leonardo da Vinci mixed pastels with other drawing media; William Blake used watercolor washes to his prints; Edgar Degas combined pastels with charcoal and printing inks.
