Sometimes it is easier to be creative by sifting through found materials, rather than staring at a blank canvas and brainstorming. Collage art is a very expressive artform, sometimes moreso than traditional painting or drawing. The process of choosing images that make you feel something adds a deeper layer of meaning, and can even be therapeutic. Being "re-creative" is not only healthy for the artist, but also for the environment. Collages are a great use for stray papers and materials that you've saved up over time, but don't know what to do with. Cutting and glueing in its simplest state can also just be plain relaxing, and has even shown to help anxiety. The benefits are plentful, which is why Collaging is such a unique and interesting artform.
