=**Problem Four: Self Portrait Collage**=

A collage is a work of art made from an assemblage of different forms, that create a new whole.

A collage may include newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or hand-made papers, portions of other artwork, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. The origins of collage can be traced back hundreds of years, but this technique made a dramatic reappearance in the late 20th century as an art form of novelty.

The term collage was coined by both **Georges Braque** and **Pablo Picasso** in the beginning of the 20th century when collage became a distinctive part of modern art.
