Explore the world of assemblage using the vehicle of animal form as inspiration. Beginning with structural anatomy, we will instinctively approach found objects we’ve gathered to express our connection to and relationship with our animal subjects. Structural, conceptual and aesthetic issues will be addressed at length via lecture, demonstration and group critique.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS CLASS

Compositional Aesthetics
Historical and Artistic influences of Assemblage
