Collage by Bazooka Arts Participant Heather 
Example Collage
If you’re looking for inspiration for things to do over this summer either for yourself or with the little ones, why not try your hand at collage? This simple art technique can be done with things you have around your house like leaflets and magazines.
You can create your own papers to use in your collage.
Using chalk pens 
Patterned paper 
Watercolour washes using salt, rice and kitchen paper for texture
You could try making 3D elements like this flower.
You can use colour to highlight and emphasise particular aspects of your collage. The piece below used chalk pens, but you can use any pens, paints, chalks etc.
Try out different compositions before using glue to stick your collage together.
Earlier this year Bazooka Arts participants did some collage during the Online Creative Cafe with artist Gayle and we love this piece created by Shamim using her blue envelope.
Let us see your finished pieces by sharing them on social media and tagging us @BazookaArts and using #BazookaArts #BazookaSummer
