The 3D Experience

The 3D ExperienceRhythm in Layers+Assemblage Art made up of preformed natural or manufactured materials which were not intended as art materials.

+Jean DubuffetThe artistic origin of the word Assemblage can be traced to the 1950s, when Jean Dubuffet created a series of collages made from butterfly wings, titled Assemblages dempreintes

+Other artists actually worked with found objects prior to DubuffetPablo Picasso

+AndMarcel Duchamp

+One of the earliest women to try her hand at Assemblage art wasElsa von Freytag-LoringhovenWho really put herself into her workliterally

+And my personal favorite..Louise Nevelson who started creating her sculptures from found pieces of wood in the 1930s . She liked to refer to them as Sky Cathedrals.

+Assemblages are mainly (but not always) NON-OBJECTIVE works of art.

Art with no recognizable subject matter+Lets take a look at some examples of Assemblage Art by an artist named Jeff Owens.

+Ruth Wurzburger is a British artist who currently creates Assemblage Art.

+I believe art can be a valuable medium of expression, and hope to connect with people in a direct and emotive way using pure color to create an uplifting experience. My work consists of explorations in large canvases, and more recently mixed media wall assemblages which extends the color into 3D space.

She states+Emotive.what??????Causing or intending to cause emotion.

Oh ok, now you get it! +Ruth uses color to let her viewers feel emotions when viewing her workRuth layers Colors and Shapes Sequentially to give Depth to her pieces.

+What does it mean to layer colors and shapes sequentially?Dark to Light.

Big to Small+For this project you will be using wood shapes and lots of color and patterns to create an Assemblage work of art!Some student examples

Lets Get StartedFor Homework, Go online and find one example of each of the 5 Assemblage artists listed on your project sheet. They are:Jean DubuffetMarcel DuchampPablo PicassoElsa von Freytag-Loringhoven andLouise NevelsonPrint out 1 example of each of their Assemblage artwork and label each artwork with the artists name. You may also email me this homework. +NextOn the back of your Rubric, create a large,detailed sketch of your final design for yourAssemblage. Include color, texture, movement and pattern in your Design. Use the actual wooden shapes you chose for this project.Remember, your design should remain Non-Objective!

+Lets see how you feel about Ruth Wurzburgers Assemblage artwork.Study the artwork on page 1 of your Project Sheet. On the bottom (of the front) of your Rubric, write down what emotions you feel as you observe each piece. Did Ruth achieve her goal of an uplifting experience?
