Creating 3D
Art Challenge
In groups of 3…

Create something 3D out of cardboard and paper

Take it in turns to add 1 thing to your design and

then pass it in!

See what your group can come up with!

*You may want to take a photo and add this to your Folio*
Assemblage
 What is Assemblage?
Making Art out of Everything! Recreating! Combining! Challenging!
Everyday objects!
The 3D version of Collages!?

Assemblage is a form sculpture that is made

up of ‘found objects’ that are arranged to create
artwork.

These objects can be anything organic or man-

made.

Wood, metal, bottles, cans, wires, rubbish, etc.

Tim Noble and Sue Webster

3. Have a go at creating your own
mini assemblage with the objects
on the table (Photograph steps to
add to the page)
4. Fill the rest of the page with
sketches of your own ideas for an
assemblage artwork
OR Work on your folio
Now is the time to get your Folios up to
