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!
