Collage making is the art of sticking paper, and other relatively flat objects, on a flat surface. The element of TEXTURE is greatly highlighted in this art technique. Paper can be manipulated in various ways, for example, by cutting, tearing, folding, balling, crumpling, and even twisting.
The art of twisting paper lends itself to a special art technique called QUILLING, sometimes known as "paper filigree." Quilling involves the manipulation of paper through twisting, rolling and curling to create beautiful representational and abstract works of art. This art form has been around since the period of Renaissance. Quilling can be considered a form of collage making. Quilling can be done on cards, canvas boards, paper and other such surfaces.
Explore with this art form. It can be a great hobby!

Debate. Yes/No and Why?
All students can take part in this discussion regardless of the form in which you are in.
In 15 years or so, most of you would have a family. Ofcourse you would want the best for your child/children. You have provided for your children as best as you can and you hope that one day your child would become a successful doctor or lawyer or engineeer. The time comes one day when your child is about to enter university. Your child informs you that he/she wishes to focus their studies on art and hope to work in the world of art as a fashion designer or an artist.
Question:
Would you support your child in their decision? Give detailed reasons why you would support or not support your child.
