2D / 3D Still Life Collage in Mixed Media

In visual art, the making of an artwork in which more than one medium has been used is called Mixed Media. When creating a collage in mixed media it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough drying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have consistency of mediums. Different media such as paint, pastels, markers, gel pens, glue, cloth, glitter, construction or magazine paper are used in making a mixed media collage.

Art Supplies needed for this project: sketch book, 2B pencil, eraser, felt pen or fine tip marker (black), ruler, pair of scissors, construction paper, design / printed paper & color pencils / paint.
