Louise Nevelson Assemblages

1st grade learned about the artist Louise Nevelson. She creates monochromatic, abstract sculptures.
Her art is called "Assemblages" because she makes them from junk and wood scraps she finds. Then she assembles them into her artwork.


First the students collected junk for their sculptures. We had lots to choose from! Plastic bottle caps, buttons, keys, clothes pins, toy cars, shells, wood blocks, beans, noodles, and pretty much anything else we could find!






Then the students laid out all their pieces to create an interesting composition.
Once they had that figured out- they glued it all down!
(Everything stuck fine with just elmers glue, but the plastic bottle caps needed hot glue).



Then the students chose one color that they wanted to paint their assemblage.








We love how they turned out!



Keep Creating!
