Common misconception
Planning a collage or assemblage takes away creativity.
Planning provides structure but doesn’t mean the design is fixed. Many artists start with an idea but adapt it through experimentation. A plan helps build confidence, but the best results often come from unexpected discoveries along the way.
Equipment
