Assemblage Art

Saturday's class went really well. We did Assemblage art which is essentially when you "assemble" found objects (things you didn't necessarily make) and combine them to create a piece of art. Here is an example of a professional assemblage artist:


Robert Rauschenberg, Canyon, 1959.
81"x 70"x 24"
(That is a real taxidermy bird covered in tar and a real sandbag)

Here are their materials.

Foam!

  1. Looks like a fun form of art. Those are a bunch of cool assemblage elements. Your student did a good job Jefferson.
