Some of the common techniques used in creating abstract collages include:
Tearing: Tearing up images or photographs and arranging the torn pieces in a non-representational manner, so the original subjects become unrecognizable.
Layering: Pasting images on top of one another to create a complex and multidimensional composition. This can involve partially overlapping images, creating transparency effects, or blending different elements together.
Overlapping: Overlapping images or portions of images in a way that alters their meaning and creates intriguing visual connections.
Distorting: Applying various filters or editing techniques to warp, stretch, or manipulate images to create abstract forms and textures.
Ripping: Applying colored surfaces with either straight edges or organically ripped edges to create a visually textured and dynamic collage.
Mixed Media: Combining different materials, such as photographs, magazine cutouts, newspaper clippings, fabric, or any other found objects, to add depth and texture to the collage.
Imagination: Let your creative power flow and add some fun into the mix
