WHAT IS AN ASSEMBLAGE?
• It is a ‘temporary’ art work resulting from assembled objects and found materials usually mounted in an open space for public viewing.
WHY ASSEMBLAGE?
• The 21st century learners are manipulative aside from being visual learners. They learn better when they manipulate objects to discover new things. Manipulating objects offer thrill and excitement to our learners which is essential in habit formation – the habit of learning to live together in harmony (Father Delor’s Four Pillars of Learning).
WHY ASSEMBLAGE?
• Learning is effective when the learner is able to manipulate objects and assemble them to make new things out of available materials – it enhances their creativity and develops higher order thinking skills (HOTS). It will also lead to deeper understanding of LIFE (sense of SELF VALUING & RESPECT for OTHERS) and wider perspective of humanity (WORLDVIEW).
WHY ASSEMBLAGE?
• Assemblage is more on CREATING – the process of MAKING new things from what is existing. It promotes ART CREATION as one of the ART COMPONENTS in GRADE 7 ART CURRICULUM. It is a form of ARTISTIC EXPRESSION using what is available and cheap.
• With ‘assemblage’, we give our learners the FREEDOM to EXPLORE and DISCOVER their own POTENTIALS, SKILLS, TALENTS, and INGENUITY.
HOW TO MAKE AN ASSEMBLAGE?
Follow these:• LOOK around you and SEE ‘new’ things
from them.• THINK OUT OF THE BOX. Innovate and
recreate things the way you want them to look and fit your senses. Remember that SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE are those who DEVIATED from the STANDARDS to CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES.
HOW TO MAKE AN ASSEMBLAGE?
Follow these:• MOUNT your assemblage in an open space
or in an area that suits to your artwork.• DOCUMENT your work. Take photos, make
a sketch, draw or paint it.• USE your work to INSPIRE OTHERS. • DISPLAY right ATTITUDE in the proper use
and effective utilization of available resources; SHOW manifestations of a RESPONSIBLE PERSON; and PORTRAY the characteristics of a LEARNED and WELL-EDUCATED MAN.
