There are many types of collage art that anyone from Early Childhood to Adulthood can do.
Photo Collages
These are the most popular types of collage. They are put together through use of photos and sticking them to the one surface. These can be created in so many ways. You may decide you want to cut out the faces only, or use nature photos. There really is no limit to what you can do.

Magazine Collage Example
Magazine Collage
Magazine collages are made from random things in magazines. They can be cut out or ripped and then stuck onto a common surface. One of the most popular ones is to make a new person out of different body parts found in a magazine. Magazines can be replaced with newspapers to give a different feel and look.

Fabric Collage Example
Fabric Collage
Fabric collage are very different to the first two I talked about, because this one doesn't involve pictures already on the material, instead, you create the picture with the fabric. The fabric can be cut into many shapes and stuck down on a surface.

Paint Collage
This is one of the easiest types of collage. It can start off basic and can get more complex as the artist develops their skills. the easiest type of paint collage is to paint another sheet of paper with and coloured dye, but only one colour. When painting the sheet you have to spread the colour so you can get three different shades of that colour. Once this is done, set the page aside to try. Once dried, you can tare or cut the paper into any size you wish and glue it down to a surface. If you want to create something specific, you can sketch it out, and paste the colour pieces down inside.

Wood Collage Example
Collage with wood
Wood collage is almost the same as any other collage, only, you use different types of wood, rather than the other mediums, to create you piece. It is very straight forward, although an adult would have to cut the wood for the children, and some extra assistance may be required.

Decoupage Example
Decoupage
This is the technique of using cut-outs of paper, linoleum, plastic, or other flat materials gluing them to a surface and covering them with lacquer or varnish. Decoupage can include adding many copies of the same image and cut, and layering it to a certain depth.

Digital Collage Example
Digital collage
Digital college is exactly the same thing as any the other pictured collages, except there is no real hands on work. It is all done on electronic devices. Although the emotional effect changes, children still learn a great deal out of doing collage on electronic items, as it is a different form of creation. It also keeps up with the modern world. You can now get programs on your computer, or phones that help create collages.

3D Collage Example
3-Dimensional Collage
3D Collage art is placing 3D items on a surface and creating something new. Some items that can be used are: rocks, beads, coins, buttons, sticks, new and old objects. If you want you can keep it as all natural items and do a sustainability project with the children. There is only a small limit to what you can do with this type of collage.

Mosaic Example
Mosaic
Whether you knew it or not, mosaic is a type of collage. Most people know of tiled mosaic art, however there are a few different types. Others include paper, marble, stone and more. You can find these types of collage in cathedrals, churches and temples. Small pieces are often used, and they can be sharp, so this type of collage is better used for the older children in primary school. The pieces are often in random broken pieces and are easy to manoeuvre into a piece of art.
