How To Make An Abstract Collage
Jonathan Ogden talks about the art of abstract collage, photomontage and digital art and a brief history of how collage came about. He also shares about some of the techniques used for both handmade and digital collage and how you can get better at the artwork you create through recognising layout, balance and colour in other people's work.

Wonderful! I’m 45 years old and have spent most of my life painting. Unfortunately I’ve found myself in a position where I cannot afford to buy materials. I take care of a terminally ill 15 year old boy and he has something like A.L.S. We have had fun painting and drawing but using scissors and old magazines to make something has become totally amazing!:) I have to say that this video was very helpful and I can understand where you are coming from. I am a musician as well and I loved that you mentioned making a collage is like making music. I thank you for the insight and so does my little guy. Much appreciation. Can’t thank you enough.❤️

It's like visual sampling! :O
I just lately discovered this way of art. I'm very fascinated to it now, as it puts my imagination into new height. I'll subscribe thanks!

I've always been obsessed with creating art collages. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Tyler Varsell is an artist for the NYT that does collage art. She really inspired me because I had never really seen or noticed this style before.
Im a collagist and this is the first video I’ve seen on collage! Thank u!!

I loved your mention of the history of collage. I had actually studied the collages of Georges Braque when I was in high school and it was at that time I really got into making collages. I still like making them, though my other interests take most of my time. I find it a very wonderful way to create art out of elements that might at first look completely alien to each other! Thanks so much for the video! ^___^b
Great explanations and my favorite art form as drawing skills are not needed as much. Freedom of expression without rigid rules is why I am fascinated by this form of art.
What... I saw the "Rivers and Robots" art work and thought "oh! He did work for those guys! That's awesome!" and then did some digging and felt really silly because you ARE Rivers and Robots. Sheesh... Dude, thanks for the awesomely innovative Christian music AND design.

You explain everything so well. The music is also perfect for this video. I think I found my new favorite youtuber
This is one of those videos that I have watched more than once and am still inspired - thank you!
i didn't know collages were considered art. i love making physical ones out of magazines and advertisements and even if they're not good i like them uwu
i think the biggest question about digital collage that isn't answered often..even in this video, is where do you get your images? can anyone recommend resource websites

Dada artists were all about collages. A lot of the collages we see today even in social media came from them or were inspired by them.
Wow, I was literally searching up a video for one of my digital art classes and this was the first to come up. I use to listen to your music lol I'm so glad I was guided here... You're awesome
i’m passing a difficult time in my life and your video medrano me happy
Thanks Jonathan for this- actually enjoyed hearing you talk about the similarities between collage and music sampling. I love your music because of the layers and can see now how you bring that in your art too. In my illustration work sometimes I use similar layering techniques but not with found images and usually just paint. Would be interesting to experiment a bit more especially with abstract images.
I was just thinking it was like sampling music!! I'm glad someone else noticed the similarity!
You inspired me so much in 6 minutes that now I'm just going to create something using your advice. Thank you!
I love collage so much n I'm glad I found this in my KZread recommendations🙌😍✨ thank you👌

Nice video, I just started recently, cleaned out my room found some magazines and decided to scan all the images in and messing about in Photoshop now, it's such good fun!
if you guys don't know, jonathan ogden is a fantastic artist! "Always on my mind" by him and joe bae is amazing!
This is fab! I’m directing my students to this video to kick start them with their surrealist collages whilst they’re home learning at the moment! X
Collage is my art form, hands on all the time! 🥰 💕💞❤💓💗💖
When I saw that you guys were Christian and read the "About" section in your channel I cried a bit. I decided to start graphic design, pretty insecure of wether I could actually make a living out of it. Thing is, I wanna make things that bless people and glorify God too and I wanna learn as much as I can to be the best artist I can be. Seeing people like you push me to get better and be brave.
wowww, I rembemer listening to rivers and robots a few year ago, i was listening to them a LOT. now in college I have digital arts class, and I have to do a digital collage. So here i am wathing this video cause i've never made digital art before and I need some informations about it.. I am so glad I found this video, also made me listen to rivers and robots again

My minds is BLOWN. I’ve been contemplating getting into collaging seriously, with the purpose of spreading the Word and God’s heart. Thank you for this! God is using you to speak to me 🥺 Have a great day ☺️
Thank you for the explainations! This art helped me think about perspective in different ways. Have a good day 👍
KZread just sort of randomly suggested this video and your channel to me. And I'm super glad It did. This was very intriguing. Great video. I definitely wanna learn more about Set Sail, now -".. Where faith meets art" - I LOVE THAT. My journey being a creator on youtube is to find and add to a community of digital creating artist - And I really do think I came to the right place just now. I myself am a Actor and musician turning video-editor and digital storyteller I guess ;) Can't wait to see more. Kind regards from a new subscriber ;)

Beautiful, succinct AND helpful, thank you!
Very much eloquent video about collage. Inspirational! :)
Natasha Shaneek is an early favourite. Thank you for the introduction

Love your collages.. this video gave me loads of inspiration. Thanks bud!
Wonderful! So happy I stumbled onto this video!
This is mindblowing, you enhanced my creative ideas
Thank you so much for this. I've never made a collage before and this video has been very informative.
I love collage art. This video information is awesome.
This was amazing intro for a non artist. Thanks
Celebrated in art galleries all around the world or on virtually any Guided By Voices album.
Thanks for posting this. Great video with lovely examples of collage work. I like the comparisons with music sampling. I make handmade collages and this has made me think about going digital.
Just bought the book. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow! Thank you:) I am using this video to show my art students some collage basics.
I love digital Collage and procreate stamps together
no way, i'm from manchester. Listening from Melbourne right now. Thank you for sharing, gotta get that book! peace and love.
thank you so much. That was really great, inspiring and helpful
this is so calming, ty for your knowledge
Thanks Jonathan for the very informative video! I learnt a lot from that. God bless you!
Thanks for making a video on this! The collages you shared are amazing, and now i'm more excited to learn how to make them :)
Brilliant video mate, loved that you included some art history.
Yes, visual art and and music making have many similarities. Writing as well. :) the most important thing is to have the creative drive. Then you practise by studying others work abd expriment around.
love this!! all these collages are amazing, love you music, love your work
Love this! My Pinterest is filled with collages. Love these types of videos as well. Did you go to uni for graphic design?

Loved the video. I’m off to film Uni this year and I’m making w little collage for my film book using old DVDs and some other bits 😃
Just what I was looking for. Thenks!
I'm having to work on a Collage for my Class, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what kind of Idea I want to get across... I find that most Collages online don't really have much of a "point" other than trying to convey a certain aesthetic and are generally unrealistic, but I like it when a Collage has meaning to it... Any tips or thoughts you can share?
got this book! It's great

Ayy. I came across this video saw and had no idea you’re Johnathan Ogden! Love your work.

Really inspiring video. Can you guys make a video of how the GATHER project was born?
I know its been a while since you've posted this but I really hope you see this questions! I am very curious to know, who made the two videos used in your intro starting at 0:11?
Wow, ¡Thanks boys! :D ¡Time to making some noise with colors! Blessings! ;D
Thanks mhn this helped to much🙏🏾
Mixed media is my life!
OMG Are those collages in the video your own works? They are ASTONISHINGLY BEAUTIFUL
Alto genio! Muy bueno gracias!!
Such an awesome rundown!
really liked how informative this video was!
Wow. Really helpful video. Thank you a lot.😍
Could you do one that is a bit technical - on how to make a collage that will last? How do you keep it nearly acid-free? How do you preserve it?
Thank you for a great inspiration. Where can I find tutorial of how you work With this kind of stuff in Photoshop? / Kind regards Lisa

Very helpful video. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing this information this is very useful 👍
Greart video! By the way, I have several Jonathon Odgen ancestors. There must have be 5 Jonathon Ogdens in a row. With one being a revolutionary soldier. I'm in the US. Thanks for the insightful video
Beautiful artworks! ❤
Thanks for sharing, your video was very thorough and full of useful information. I love playing around on apps on my phone but I would love the progress this skill. I find photoshop daunting but I'm going to give it another try. You've inspired me with your experience and examples. Thank you.
Um hi. I was watching you and saw the album art for rivers & robots and I was like woah that's cool I like that band and then I scroll down and see your NAME and I listen to your music!!!!! So cool. Hope u have a great day mk
