Composite vs. Collage — What's the Difference?

Made up of several parts or elements

Collage (, from the French: coller, "to glue" or "to stick together";) is a technique of art creation, primarily used in the visual arts, but in music too, by which art results from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. (Compare with pastiche, which is a "pasting" together.) A collage may sometimes include magazine and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paint, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas.

Relating to or denoting a classical order of architecture consisting of elements of the Ionic and Corinthian orders.

A piece of art made by sticking various different materials such as photographs and pieces of paper or fabric on to a backing.

Relating to or denoting plants of the daisy family (Compositae ).

An artistic composition of materials and objects pasted over a surface, often with unifying lines and color.

A thing made up of several parts or elements

A work, such as a literary piece, composed of both borrowed and original material.

A plant of the daisy family (Compositae ).

The art of creating such compositions.

The Composite order of architecture.

An assemblage of diverse elements

Combine (two or more images) to make a single picture

To paste (diverse materials) over a surface, thereby creating an artistic product.

Made up of distinct components; compound.

To create such an artistic product.

Made by combining two or more existing things, such as photographs.

A picture made by sticking other pictures onto a surface.

(Mathematics) Having factors; factorable.

A composite object or collection (abstract or concrete) created by the assemblage of various media; especially for a work of art such as text, film, etc.

(Botany) Of, belonging to, or characteristic of the composite family.

(uncountable) The technique of producing a work of art of this kind.

A structure or entity made up of distinct components

Any picture made by sticking together pieces of paper or photographs, especially in unusual or surprising ways.

A material in which two or more distinct, structurally complementary materials, usually a matrix material and a reinforcing material, are combined to produce structural or functional properties not present in any individual component.

The technique of producing a work of art that is a collage{1}.

(Botany) A plant in the composite family.

Any composite object, whether abstract or concrete, created by assembling components of varied types.

(Mathematics) The application of one function to another. For example, if (x) = x2 and g(x) = x + 1, then the composite (g(x)) = (x + 1)2 and the composite g((x)) = x2 + 1.

Employing multiple exposures on a single plate, so as to create an average view of something, such as faces in physiognomy.

A mixture of different components.

A structural material that gains its strength from a combination of complementary materials.

(botany) A plant belonging to the family Asteraceae, syn. Compositae.

(mathematics) A function of a function.

(mathematics) composite number

A drawing, photograph, etc. that combines several separate pictures or images.
