A collage is the assemblage of different forms, creating a new whole.
For example, an artistic collage work may include newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or hand-made papers, photographs, etc., glued to a solid support or canvas.
Decoupage is a type of collage that is usually defined as a craft. It is the process of placing a picture onto an object for decouration. Often decoupage causes the picture to appear to have depth and looks as if it had been painted on the object. The basic process is of glueing (or using some other form of adhesive) a picture to something you wish to decourate and that adding copies of the ficture on top. As you ad on more copies of the picture you progressively cut out more and more of the background so that, in the end result, the picture has obtained some depth. Often the picture is then coated with varnish or some other sealent for protection.
(Collage is sometimes distinguished from photomontage, a collage made out of various photographs or parts of photographs.)
Surrealism has made extensive use of the collage. Cubomania is a collage made by cutting an image into regular squares which are then reassembled automatically or at random. Inimage' is a name given by René Passerson to what is usually called a style of surrealist collage (though it perhaps qualifies instead as a decollage) in which parts are cut away from an existing image to "reveal" another. Collages produced using a similar or perhaps identical method are called etrécissements by Richard Genovese from a method first explored by Marcel Mariën. Genovese has also introduced the "excavation" collage (this also includes elements of decollage) which is the layering of printed images, loosely affixed at the corners and then tearing away bits of the upper layer to reveal images from underneath, thereby introducing a new 'collage' of images. Penelope Rosemont invented some methods of surrealist collage, the prehensilhouette and the landscapade.
Surrealist games such as parallel collage have used collective techniques of collage-making.
The bible of discordianism, the Principia Discordia, is described by its author as a literary collage.

Collage and the law
When collage uses existing works, the end result is what copyright scholars call a derivative work. Both the derivative work and the originals have copyrights associated with them.
Due to redefined and reinterpreted copyright laws and hugely increased financial interests, collage art has all but become outlawed in some areas, for instance in the area of sound collage (hip hop).
Examples of collage art that has run into the sharp rocks of modern copyright are The Grey Album and Negativland's U2.
