On Wednesday, April 22nd Morgan Jesse Lappin founder of the Brooklyn Collage Collective, teamed up with Lizzie Gill of the BCC to deliver a Live Collage interactive session at 188 Galerie (at 188 Lafayette Street NYC).

With the new collage exhibition slated for April, 188 Galerie is inspired to share this piece on the history and technique as well as the art and craft of collage.

Collage is a visual art medium and expressive craft process of assembling varied materials to create a whole new piece. The term collage is derived from the French coller, meaning 'to glue.'

Collage emerged from the cubist gluing and pasting explorations of Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, who in the beginning of the 20th century transformed the medium into a distinctive part of modern art.
