Assemblage

"Assemblage" is the 3-D version of "collage”. "Found object fragments," "discards," or "throwaways" (artist's work to look at: Schwitters, Cornell, Rauschenberg, Bearden, etc.).


These things are organized by their specific elements. The resulting groups are then arranged into compositions of art.


Extending to many cultures of people living in family, religious, work, and various other groups; We could be viewed as a complex living version of "assemblage”(Webster 1. a group of persons or things gathered or collected).


We have “found” each other by chance; either by blood, common goals, or a certain chemistry. These connections help to formulate new ideas, innovations, and even new generations. John Anderson

More Reasons For The Arts in Schools

“...we live at a time when division is the norm.”
“Art is an antidote for our time...art meets us where we are and invites us in—to think, feel, wonder, dream, debate, laugh, resist, roam, [and] imagine.”
“...social, political and historical connectedness [is] born of...traumatic experience.” “Art instigates true engagement.”
“...filmmaker or photographer, author or actress, poet or painter...[artists] use art as a weapon for dynamic optimism.””...the perils of politics and power pivot to a blade of grass, a note of music, a line [in] a novel, expression on the screen, [and] we breathe deeply and are revived.”
