Collage materials

Possible Materials for the Poster:


 * Canvas:
 * Made of cloth and thus will be capable of containing most kinds of paints; should be capable of holding glue also in case we want to glue any kind of papers to it or anything like that.
 * Art Supplies Online. This place seems to have pretty decently sized canvas, and since it comes in 2-packs, I'm sure that only 2 or 3 packages will be needed and can then be glued together to make a larger canvas board. It's gluing it together that may be a problem...
 * DIY (If you are adventurous...) The materials needed for this aren't much (just some guesso if you want a dark colored canvas, a large linen cloth and a board the size necessary). If many people are interested in making the project collaborative, I'm sure either the art department or just a group of 	interested people can do this within 1 to 2 days max, since acrylic would evaporate quick.


 * Taracloth Banners:
 * Like canvas, except that these come in very long rectangular shapes. Would be useful if having a square dimension is not necessary for the project.
 * Art Supplies Online. Perhaps something like 3 yards by 50 inches is more than enough; in fact, this size would require someone posting the thing to the size of a building, not just a wall. For a wall, probably two 24 inch x 2 yard posters would be OK.
 * Pearl Arts and Crafts. They have something more interesting here: 34 in x 2 yards and 50 in x 2 yards. This would probably be better as you'll have a more 'square' design for the thing, and won't need the whole side of a building to post it. In case you do, they have larger yardage for slightly more massive projects.
 * Dick Blick. These people seem to have a pretty decent deal for their 50 inch by 9 foot taracloth.


 * Fiberboard:
 * If one puts a bit of paint on top of the white board (as a base) it can be very easily used as a material for the collage. It can also be cut/order to nearly any size wanted...
 * Niagara Fiberboard. These materials seem pretty good. Getting a slightly thick fiberboard would be useful if one wants to keep the collage as a permanent work and display it somewhere.


 * Floorcloth:
 * Could make for a very interesting medium as it would be cloth. However, I probably wouldn't recommend this if pictures are to be pasted to it. However, maybe someone can put cloth stuff that has pictures on it here (i.e., old t-shirts).
 * Pearl Arts and Crafts. Pearl, as always, has everything on the farking planet dealing with art stuff.
 * Dick Blick. Like Pearl, they too have everything, although their prices seem a bit expensive...

That's the end of it...
