A collage (From the French: coller, to glue) is a work of formal art, primarily in the visual arts, made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. Use of this technique made its dramatic appearance among oil paintings in the early 20th century as an art form of groundbreaking novelty.
An artistic collage work may include newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or hand-made papers, portions of other artwork, photographs, and such, glued to a piece of paper or canvas.
Techniques of collage were first used at the time of the invention of paper in China around 200 BC. The use of collage, however, remained very limited until the 10th century in Japan, when calligraphers began to apply glued paper, using texts on surfaces, when writing their poems.[1]
The technique of collage appeared in medieval Europe during the 13th century. Gold leaf panels started to be applied in Gothic cathedrals around the 15th and 16th centuries. Gemstones and other precious metals were applied to religious images, icons, and also, to coats of arms.[1]
In the 19th century, collage methods also were used among hobbyists for memorabilia (i.e. applied to photo albums) and books (i.e. Hans Christian Andersen, Carl Spitzweg).[1]
The term collage derives from the French "coller" meaning "glue".[2] This term was coined by both Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso in the beginning of the 20th century when collage became a distinctive part of modern art.
Basically, all 2,750 avatars will be displayed on one poster (1024x768 pixels)

okay i have an estimated 2,000 avatars going in the collage. basically i counted the avatars on pages 1-314 on the member list. i got 500 exactly. and since 314 pages is 1/4 the total 1256 pages, there should be 2,000 avatars. whats wierd though is that 1/4 of all our usernames start with numbers or the letters a->d.
anyhoo, i think space wont be a problem anymore. i think.
***. i forgot. when i get all the avatrs i will have to drag 2,000 images into photoshop
...
without sacrifice, there is no glory!
