Collage the scissors and glue method of combining readymade imagery evolved from "papier collés," a 19th century leisure time activity of children and amateurs. It was elevated to the realm of fine art around 1912 when Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque began to include snippets of newspaper clippings, tickets, paper, wood and even sand in their cubist compositions.
