Digital Collage Project

I created this collage using only the four source images below it. There are two pictures of a mouse skeleton that I found in my


attic, one on a piece of wood, and one against a black cloth. The third one is a picture I took many years ago, and I only used it for 


the nails, and the last one is a tray of dried plaster that I've scratched into with a stick. Everything else in the picture is made from 


these four images. I did not know that this would look like this when I began...I just played around with it until I felt it looked good.

Digital Collage Project:
The word digital comes from the same source as the word digit and digitus (the Latin word for finger), as fingers are used for discrete counting. It is most commonly used in computing and electronics, especially where real-world information is converted to binary numeric form as in digital audio and digital photography. (Wikipedia)

A collage (From the French: à coller, to glue, French pronunciation: [kɔ.laːʒ]) is a work of formal art, primarily in the visual arts, made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.A collage may sometimes include newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or hand-made papers, portions of other artwork or texts, 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 early 20th century as an art form of novelty.  (Wikipedia)


Therefore, a Digital Collage is a work of formal art, primarily in the visual arts, made from an assemblage of different forms, thus 
creating a new whole where real-world information is converted to binary numeric form as in digital audio and digital photography. (Assembled from Wikipedia)
