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.❤️
@@tamsinthai I think it’s a way to make it more personal, older people would mean that even if I’m old I still can do this and younger people that even if I’m young I can still do it
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
@@conectorciencia9881 You are one of the reasons the internet is great!, another questions is pexels and unsplash free to use images? or does it vary im about to check them out, thank you again!
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.
I'm one of the soldiers at 12 seconds. The military channel got a hold of that video as well. I'm curious as to where you found it. That was during the Special Forces Basic Combat Course-Support in Montana, in 2011. Good and terrible times!
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!
i literally have a project to make an abstract digital collage and haven’t searched anything for it.... but this showed up in my recommended so weird BUT SO HELPFUL
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
Question about images and copyright. What about images from magazines? Or, do you know if there's a date when something becomes public domaine? Thanks! Loved this video.
I checked once by approaching the magazine I used and they told me although they where happy I asked it was not allowed. But I can only imagine it's different depending what you use😊
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
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
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.
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.
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 ☺️
Could u pls upload more videos about that topic: tutorials, inspirations, how to get ideas, resources for elements that are used in collage and all that stuff.
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?
RUclips 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 ;)
That’s great to hear Rasmus! Cool to hear you’re getting into the video world :) Similar journey for us. We’re musicians and designers starting to figure out the RUclips side of things.
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?
Sure! It could be another follow up video, but as a starter, I think very often less is more with collage. If you find yourself adding lots of elements in to try and make it work then maybe it’s just a little imbalanced to begin with. I try and use just a few main elements to combine into something that sits well together, and then anything else is just an interesting detail. Also think about contrasting colours, and textures. If you have a busy image, you might want to contrast that with a plain colour. And a little tip that’s helped me with balance in design, is minimising the window for a little while or taking a screen break. When you come back to it after 10 minutes sometimes you notice something in the overall balance more than you do when you’re working on it. That ‘first glance’ can be really helpful to spot layout / balance, and things that just aren’t sitting right.
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.
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.
I would recommend you doing what I do. At any fleamarket you will find all sorts of vintage books and magazines. find some there that you like and simply scan them in to edit digitally... just a tip... good luck. :)
Cam Galloway Hi ! I make my collages with photoshop, and I never leave my home without at least a small camera. Pics can be taken everywhere, in full size, or just details. One just has to keep the eyes wide open ... and start "collecting" ! - Good luck. 📷

love hearing this and keep making your art work! i would give money if i could to help you do what you love.
Best of luck my friend
alot of respect to you!! I hope your family is well
Why, like so many, did you feel the need to mention your age? Never see anyone say 'I'm 32' or whatever.
@@tamsinthai I think it’s a way to make it more personal, older people would mean that even if I’m old I still can do this and younger people that even if I’m young I can still do it
I guess you've just unlocked my creative depression. Thank you
hahah idk why but the same just happened to me
TY.Been doing a lot of collage lately
I relate to this comment
Wtf
It's like visual sampling! :O
At 1:27 , to the right of Mr. Ogden, you can see a change in bookshelf where he got the book from
Haha! I was wondering if people would catch that :)
@Juan Andrés Opazo Ravanal that's what he said
I thought it was a freakin ghost! 😳😂
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.
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

Im a collagist and this is the first video I’ve seen on collage! Thank u!!
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!
Me too!!
He missed the most famous collage artist of all time, Kurt Schwitters.
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.
I was just thinking it was like sampling music!! I'm glad someone else noticed the similarity!
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!

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.
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!
i’m passing a difficult time in my life and your video medrano me happy

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 RUclips recommendations🙌😍✨ thank you👌
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

Ayy. I came across this video saw and had no idea you’re Johnathan Ogden! 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?
I studied design at college (age 16 - 18) but the went straight into work as a designer rather than going to university.
Set Sail oh ok, it’s pretty interesting to see how much you can explore on art outside of formal education.
I REALLY THOUGHT U HAVE SOMEWHERE NEAR A MILLION SUBS.....Bro this channels deserves so much more

Love your collages.. this video gave me loads of inspiration. Thanks bud!
Brilliant video mate, loved that you included some art history.
no way, i'm from manchester. Listening from Melbourne right now. Thank you for sharing, gotta get that book! peace and love.
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?
Really inspiring video. Can you guys make a video of how the GATHER project was born?
Thanks Jonathan for the very informative video! I learnt a lot from that. God bless you!
Thank you so much for this. I've never made a collage before and this video has been very informative.
What music have you used in the first few mins? Love how it works with the vibe of the video!
what is a good website to get those vintage looking people from?
1 year later and stil no answer. C'mon internet do your thing.

Can I make collages using only my phone? Where can i get photos with good quality?
Darn, never knew you did the rivers and robots art work 🙌
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 😃
