Superfun Activity for the Unemployed: #3 Make a Collage!

You may feel that collages are childish and regressive - and in some circumstances they are.  Remember, however, dear reader, one must REgress in order for one to PROgress.

All you need are -

1. Scissors

2. Glue

3. Poster board

4. An old family album you can cannibalize 

5. Creativity

6. (optional) a bottle of whiskey

Here's some examples of exemplary collages:

Notice how Brittany has ensconced her shiny, golden maned head smack-dab in the middle of this valley girl dreamland!  She is flanked by two beauties one can only surmise are her mother and grandmother.  Brittany's personality comes shining through after a well placed image of her playfully making bull horns, as if to say "I may be wearing this here evenin' gown, but gosh golly, I'm a playful sort.  Watch out or I may gore you!"  One word: art.

Now, this is a more standard and structured example of a collage, but it is a collage nonetheless.  The collage artist is employing what is called a "tile motif."

Whereas Brittany went hog wild with her collage, this artist is opting for a cleaner, more organized layout.  I'm not quite sure how the artist managed to find such a cadre of rugged type men, but that is where individuality and sheer luck enters in.  If these lads were all huddled together in a room at the same time, one would be apt to say: "Watch out ladies. I don't think these wood paneled walls will be able to contain the brute sexuality and raw masculinity these fellas are exuding."  The gentleman in the top row, center square, embodies the definition of badass.  His eyes seem to say "Lets take this damn picture already so I can go have a threesome with the two Tai hookers and do coke off the barrel of my 44 Magnum."  Man's man.

Love is in the air.  And if not in the air, then definitely in Stacey and Chad's collage.  Not only did these two Siamese twin lovebirds (their heads have since been separated, thankfully) employ a collage technique, but they also broke the collage up into a puzzle format.  "Too much?" you may ask.  Not at all.  Love like theirs cannot exist as a whole for very long.  The sheer magnitude of the union of their souls can only be mirrored by a celestial event such as a galaxy falling in on itself.  Bravo, Stacey and Chad. Bravo!
