Assembling a Sculpture
Some modern sculptors don’t really do much sculpting. Instead, they create assemblages. In other words, they gather materials because they like their feel, their shape, or their colour and put them together to make a sculpture. These assemblages may include odd things, such as old wheels or bits of plastic. Or they may be made of unusual but carefully chosen materials.
You, too, can turn odds and ends into a work of art with a little glue, card, and imagination. With an adult’s permission, hunt around your house. Find paper plates and cups, empty jars or cans, and bottle tops. Hunt through your toy box, too. Old puzzle pieces play jewellery, old dolls, and action figures can add interest to your work of art.
After you’ve finished hunting, start arranging the pieces. Choose how you want to assemble them, for example, according to colour or shape or theme.
You could cut a paper plate into a spiral and wrap it around a cup. Glue your pieces onto a piece of painted card. If you like, paint the pieces, too. Then coat the entire work in white glue. Let it dry. Then display it for everyone to see!
