an art technique that involves creating three-dimensional compositions by combining found or discarded objects and materials
Assemblage is an art technique where artists create a piece by combining different objects or materials, often ones that are thrown away or no longer needed. These objects are put together to create a new form or structure, often to convey a message, create a visual impact, or explore new textures and shapes. Assemblage can include anything from pieces of metal and wood to old tools, fabric, and paper. This method is valued for its ability to reuse ordinary objects and turn them into meaningful art, offering a new perspective and interpretations.
