A collage is a piece of art made by putting different things such as photographs and paper or fabrics onto a backing.
Collage came to English through French from the Greek word for "glue".

On a collage, you may use glue to paste the paper or art onto the backing.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A collage is a work of art formed by pasting together fragments (parts) of printed matter, cloth, or other light weight materials on surface. In French, the word collage means, “to glue”. When creating a collage, an artist pastes, or glues, together materials, just like the terms means.
