Grades 4–12
Students will think of a place they have never been but would like to explore. They should consider which objects they would use to create their own assemblage inspired by this place. Students will write about which objects they might choose and why. Then they will sketch their assemblage.
Grades 6–12
Students will use wood scraps and other found objects to create their own assemblage. A cardboard box can be used for the base and students can choose whether or not to paint the box and their objects one solid color before using hot glue or wood glue to assemble their sculpture.
