  • Jonathan Ogden talks about the art of abstract collage, photomontage and digital art and a brief history of how collage came about. He also shares about some of the techniques used for both handmade and digital collage and how you can get better at the artwork you create through recognising layout, balance and colour in other people's work.

    Wonderful! I’m 45 years old and have spent most of my life painting. Unfortunately I’ve found myself in a position where I cannot afford to buy materials. I take care of a terminally ill 15 year old boy and he has something like A.L.S. We have had fun painting and drawing but using scissors and old magazines to make something has become totally amazing!:) I have to say that this video was very helpful and I can understand where you are coming from. I am a musician as well and I loved that you mentioned making a collage is like making music. I thank you for the insight and so does my little guy. Much appreciation. Can’t thank you enough.❤️

    Great explanations and my favorite art form as drawing skills are not needed as much. Freedom of expression without rigid rules is why I am fascinated by this form of art.

    Thanks Jonathan for this- actually enjoyed hearing you talk about the similarities between collage and music sampling. I love your music because of the layers and can see now how you bring that in your art too. In my illustration work sometimes I use similar layering techniques but not with found images and usually just paint. Would be interesting to experiment a bit more especially with abstract images.

    I loved your mention of the history of collage. I had actually studied the collages of Georges Braque when I was in high school and it was at that time I really got into making collages. I still like making them, though my other interests take most of my time. I find it a very wonderful way to create art out of elements that might at first look completely alien to each other! Thanks so much for the video! ^___^b
