Assemblage is a form of art that involves creating three-dimensional compositions by combining various found or pre-existing objects into a cohesive whole. The objects used in assemblage can be anything from discarded materials to household items, and can be arranged in a variety of ways to create unique, thought-provoking pieces.
Recently, I participated in an Assemblage Challenge where I was given the task of creating a new piece every day using the assemblage technique. While I have shared some of my work in previous blog posts, I wanted to concentrate on one piece in particular that I took further with some enhancements.
The original piece that I created was a rough sketch of an idea that I wanted to develop further. I spent only a short amount of time on it, as the challenge required a new piece to be created every day. But I saw the potential in the piece and decided to work on it more.
I took the original assemblage and began adding to it, experimenting with different materials and objects to create a more refined and cohesive piece. I am still refining and tweaking this piece.
The before and after photos of the piece show the transformation that occurred during the enhancement process. What started as a simple idea and rough sketch evolved into more visually striking piece of art.
I invite you to come back and view the final outcome of my Assemblage Challenge piece. I hope that it will inspire you to explore the world of assemblage art and perhaps even try your hand at creating your own unique pieces.
