ASSEMBLAGE I
Lindsay Obermeyer
Monday 9:30am – 12:30pm
Location: YFA South EAC
Similar to collage, but three-dimensional,
assemblage is a process that transforms found
objects into sculptures and reliefs. A flexible
discipline, the works can be small or large, abstract
or representational, soft or rigid. Come prepared
the first day with a collection of objects you want
to incorporate, from old frames to broken watches.
Learn through slide images what’s currently
happening in the field.

their sculptures through maintaining a sketchbook
and joining in on class discussions. Students will have
the opportunity to view contemporary sculpture
through field trips and slide presentations.
