How to make an art collage on the computer

What do you think of the photo below? It's made up of two photos, one of a monkey and one of a primary school put together as a collage!

Would you like to have a go at creating your own collage out of different photos?

Showing a screenshot of the pixlr photo editing software where you can make a collage picture using different photos - in this case an orangutan behind a primary school.

CLEO have a great step-by-step video showing you how with the help of Pixlr free, photo editing software.

Do you like the Victorian collage we made below? Queen Victoria opened Leeds Town Hall in 1858, so we found a figure of the Queen and a medal showing the Town Hall in Leeds Museums and Galleries online collections. We then put the images together as a photo collage using Pixlr.
