WHAT IS ASSEMBLAGE ART? artistic process in
which a three-dimensional artistic composition is made from putting together found objects

JOSEPH CORNELL collected and carefully juxtaposed
found objects in small, glass-front boxes created visual poems in which surface,
form, texture, and light play together
things we can see to make boxes about things we cannot see: ideas, memories, fantasies, and dreams

turned everyday objects into mysterious treasures
found materials became symbols that inhabit his boxes and hint at abstract ideas… metal spring from a discarded wind-up clock may evoke the passage of time; a ball might represent a planet or the luck associated with playing a game

LOUISE NEVELSON collected and carefully juxtaposed
found objects in boxes of various sizes used cast-off wood parts and actual
street throwaways

control and precise placement of parts achieved balance and structure
incorporated a variety of forms and united the piece with monochromatic spray paint
shadow as important as composition

WHAT YOU’LL DO: combine the styles of
Joseph Cornell and Louise Nevelson to make your own found object symbolic memory box
use found objects that have meaning to you – either literal or symbolic
plan how these objects will be placed into the box and the meaning of these objects and placements

WHAT YOU’LL DO: assemble them into
and/or onto a box…plan your arrangement then hot glue, tie, staple, wire, etc. the objects to the box
paint the memory box in a monochromatic color scheme
write an artist’s statement about the final piece and the meaning and/or symbolism behind it

TIPS: think of a theme or overall meaning
and intent of your memory box
if you don’t have enough found objects to convey your theme, keep seeking out more – ask friends, family, clean out drawers, etc.
consider repeating objects, shapes, forms and textures
layer your objects for more depth

REQUIREMENTS: use at least 10 of your own found
objects
use your own found or made box
sketch and plan a theme and composition
write an artist statement about the piece
