Louise Nevelson Assemblages
For the next second grade project, students looked at Louise Nevelson, a Jewish American artist, for inspiration. She creates beautifully complex sculptures that she calls “assemblages.” Nevelson found most of her materials in alleys and dumpsters. She gave new purpose to what others deemed trash by turning them into works of art. Nevelson carefully arranged the pieces in her assemblages, and coated them with one color of paint to create a unified look. In second grade, students hunted through the “classroom dumpster (boxes of random craft wooden pieces)” to find their own materials. Then, they unified their assemblage by painting it in one color. In class, we talked about how her abstract sculptures can resemble different things to all of us. What do some of the sculptures below look like to you?
