A playfully creative day ‘painting with objects’
What is Assemblage?
Assemblage is a three-dimensional art form made up of everyday objects that normally don’t live together. These objects are scavenged and collected to help create unique art pieces. The result is both fun and a ‘wow’ experience for the artist and the observer.
These theme-orientated camps will involve using a ‘case’ to create your art piece. A case is a container that is designed to hold or protect something. Examples include boxes, instrument cases, cigar boxes, and anything that holds other objects. Participants will have the opportunity to display their work in a group show at the Corner Gallery in Ukiah early 2024.
Goals
1. Learn the basics of assemblage
2. Create a finished art piece out of a ‘case’
3. Increase your sense of community
4. ‘Sparkle’ your intuition
5. Have fun!
