What is what does collage means?

Collage is a type of art form that involves creating an image or composition by combining different materials, often of different textures and colors, such as photographs, newspaper clippings, fabric, or any other found objects. The term "collage" is derived from the French word "coller," which means to glue. The goal of collage is to produce a visually cohesive image or assemblage that transcends its individual parts and creates a new and unique aesthetic experience. Collage can be created in various media, including painting, sculpture, and digital art. It was popularized in the early 20th century by artists such as Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, who developed the technique of cubism, which heavily incorporated collage.
