Sometimes artists use traditional materials like pencils or paint to make art. Other times they find things that are supposed be used for different purposes and make art out of them. Now is the perfect time to get inspiration from artists like Alexander Calder, Betye Saar, Robert Rauschenberg and Louise Nevelson. These famous assemblage artists put together found or unrelated objects often using untraditional art materials. For this week's art challenge, you will create a temporary sculpture of an animal out of found materials. First watch the slide show to see how my family created our animal assemblages. Next think about what kind of animal you want to make. Look around your home for things you can use to create your sculpture. Start with the biggest shapes like the head and the body and then add the smaller details on top. When you are done, take a picture of your animal assemblage and email it to me at [email protected] and I will add your art to this website! Happy creating.
