Sculptural Assemblage
Arthur Simms
Tuition $1,150
Code S0505-23
The focus of this workshop is on the use of everyday objects to create sculptures, utilizing new, found, and repurposed objects to define form and convey meaning. Students are introduced to artists whose sculptural works exemplify the language of assemblage in art. Through presentations and demonstrations, participants are exposed to a variety of materials and techniques which highlight the use of the found object in sculpture. Students create sculptures of personal meaning while investigating design, form, structure, and ways in which objects can articulate content based on how they are configured and/or deconstructed.
