Tactile, versatile and accessible, collage encapsulates the magic of reinvention. Through collage, you\u2019ll learn how to manipulate, combine, deconstruct and reconstruct images. As you dive deeper you\u2019ll discover how the art of collage stretches the imagination and encourages a reinterpretation of the familiar and mundane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bev Speight takes you through 50 step-by-step projects to inspire you from striking architectural builds to mixed-media menageries, <em>Project: Collage<\/em> offers fresh ideas and guidance to help you cut and paste your way to unique artworks.
