Collages are an incredibly simple yet powerful art form, perfect for expressing emotions, exploring creativity, and even relieving stress! Whether you’re using photos, colored paper, or digital tools, creating a collage is a fun and relaxing process that anyone can enjoy.

🌟 Why You will love creating collages:

  • Easy: You don’t need any fancy materials—just scissors, glue, and a mix of visuals. For digital collages, there are many free and easy-to-use design apps or software that allow you to combine images and elements creatively.

  • Effective: Collages allow for spontaneous self-expression, which helps in processing emotions and discovering inner thoughts, whether you're working with physical or digital materials.
