this is the project i have to do for english. we're supposed to define ourselves as readers. so i chose to do this, to interpret the different influences one might have when choosing what to read.
1. get a canvas from michael's or any arts and crafts store.
2. get newspaper, an old book your not going to read anymore, magazine, and any other texts you can find and want to use in your collage.
3. cut the texts into different sized pieces. i recommend using a ruler if you want a nice and straight looking collage. yes this does take quite some time.
4. once you have enough pieces, start gluing them down. i used simple children's runny glue and mixed it with a tad bit of water.
5. once all the pieces are glued down, just wait for it to fully dry. at least 12 hours.
6. here is where you can get creative and pretty much do anything. i used sharpie to do the artwork.
7. tadah! all done!
