Montage is French for "putting together." A montage is a technique used in art where you combine parts or the whole of other photos, pictures, or designs to form a new composition or image. Sometimes it is done to give the illusion that everything belongs together or to add significance to the work of art. Many different shots are merged to form one single image.
A photomontage is a montage made up of photographs. It is formed by cutting the photos and joining them together to create another photo.
Collage is also French, meaning "to glue." It is art work that is made from gathering and assembling different visual elements to create a new look or arrangement. Collages can be made up of many different things; like paper, ribbons, newspapers, photos, etc.
