ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses various methods, their alternatives, and related comments to guide group members for making collage by using paper, paint, and patch pictures. Any previous paintings/drawings can be saved by group members that they no longer want to keep, but are colourful and have interesting patterns and shapes. These can be torn into small pieces and stored in boxes by group members in one session, and used for collage at a later date. The group members can draw their own images if preferred, and cut these out. They may wish to select fairly small images and, if needed, they can reduce some images using a photocopier. Using fabric for collage can be frustrating the first time round. Some materials may require more glue than others, and people may be unfamiliar with handling these materials, so you will need to give support with this activity initially.
