 Artistics skills used in creating arts

• Collage – are the techniques of an art production used in the visual arts,

creating a new whole.

paints, bits of colored or handmade papers. Portions of other artwork or texts,
photographs, and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas.

• Decollage – is the opposite of collage, instead of an image is being built up all

or parts of existing images, it is created by cutting, treating away or otherwise
removing pieces of an original image.

The French word “Decollage” in English means “Take-off” or “To become

Unglued” or “To become unstuck”

lacerated poster, a poster in which one has been place over another or others,
and the top poster or posters have been ripped, revealing to a greater or lesser
degree the poster or posters underneath.

painted illicitly on a wall or other surface, often in a public space. Graffiti

materials such as concrete, metal, asphalt, or mineral pigments.
