Assemblages 4/9/14
We learned about the artist Louise Nevelson while working on this projects. Louise Nevelson was known for her found object assemblages. We also learned about Richard and Judith Lang, artist's who use objects found on the beach to create their work. I wanted there to be an emphasis that artwork can be created out of anything the students can find. We also are thinking about how we can help the environment by doing this project. We tied in Monochromatic Color as well by having each student pick one color as their theme. They then had to create a background out of Paint, Colored Pencil, Marker, Chalk, Oil Pastel, Crayon, etc. using only tints and shades of that HUE. They were then asked to bring in found objects of that HUE as well, to be glued down onto their background. Here are some of the works in progress!
