DIRECTIONS:

Your project will be to create two surrealistic colllages using photopea. 

We will discuss how to cut images out of photos and how to layer your images to create a collage.

You will create a landscape and a portrait for your collages, like the two examples below.  

There are examples below for each type of collage. Note that these are made with paper and glue, but we will use photopea to create ours.
