Collage

Multiple images and other objects are put together and assembled in such a way as to create a new image. The new picture takes on the numerous meanings of its source images. However, it also combines all those meanings in a way similar to a kaleidoscope, creating several new meanings. Cubism, Constructivism, Surrealism, and Vorticism were all creative movements associated with the word and its practice, as were subsequent champions of concepts of a multidimensional reality. The term is frequently associated with montage or photomontage. Although these methods may overlap in certain cases, they typically have distinct goals and objectives.
