description Collage is created by sticking any existing printed, photographic or drawing material onto any surface to create a novel design. Whatever the building material of the collage is, the fictional reality that creates the sense of reality in the audience is at the forefront. Collage, first practiced by Cubists in twentieth-century art, is defined as a visual art technique which was subsequently developed by Dadaists. By using this new trend of generating modern art with real objects, the Cubists also pointed out the degree of autonomy artworks have thereby achieved. Dadaists, on the other hand, refuse to depict, instead adopting the view that objects only want to represent themselves. The collage techniques, which include the concepts of assembly, montage and photomontage, have been movedto a different dimension from its known meaning with the use of everyday materials as its essence. Through the construction of the collage, although it is possible to reproduce the examples showing that it includes rich expressive possibilities in producing creative solutions to the speculative diversity in artistic applications, the important thing is to reach an original and creative thought that will enliven the artistic fiction. The ability to produce and interpret, which arises in this comprehension process, especially emphasised in visual arts, carries a distinct value with its basic design elements. Considering the paradigm in terms of the literature, it was deemed appropriate to examine the subject in terms of basic art elements, as there are examples of the application that are relatively less processed in the context of the subject. In this respect, the functionality of the collage technique is delineated with its concepts and basic design elements. In the findings and interpretation section of the paper, the original collage applications designed experimentally were examined and interpreted in terms of the basic design elements.
