Artist-author Diane Maurer-Mathison begins with an overview of collage, including history, tools, and techniques, plus materials and the principles of colour and design. She then proceeds with sections on collage, assemblage, and altered art - each detailing the various creative possibilities and including inspirational projects. Detailed step-by-steps, clear instructions, plus beautiful full-colour photographs of examples by noted artists, make this the complete reference guide to the art of collage.
