‘Cell’ by Jill Frost
- In ‘Forest Collage’ I was inspired by a painting – “Cell” by Jill Frost.
- Stage 1– I took a piece of cardboard and I ripped it to reveal the corrugated texture inside.
- Stage 2 & 3 – For the ground texture and foliage I took some brown paper (the sort you now get as packing in parcels instead of bubble wrap) which I crumpled and then flattened out again.
- Stage 4 – I then cut shapes out to resemble tree trunks receding into the distance.
- Stage 5 – I then stuck the wrinkled paper down and cut some other pieces of cardboard for the foreground tree trunks.
Materials: cardboard, brown packing paper, scissors , glue.

‘Collage Landscape’ by Allan Williams
‘Cabbage Tree collage’ was taken from old magazines using some cabbage from a food magazine, curtains for the tree trunk and the women with the flower in her hair becoming part of the landscape’
Materials: Old magazines, coloured paper and/or tissue paper, scissors, glue, backing paper or card (you could also add wrapping paper, bubble wrap or whatever textural or colourful material you have to hand).

I hope you feel inspired to have a go at this at home. You could base your collage on a painting, a photograph of a favourite landscape or simply invent your own landscape – have fun!
