But is it art?

This is a quick collage I made at college this morning.

To be honest I don't think of this as art; rather it's just some strips of text from a magazine and some tissue paper stuck onto a piece of cardboard. Not my cup of tea at all but it's what we have to do for the course.

I'll probably use it as a background for some painting and that at least might make me feel that it has some artistic value...
