Louise Nevelson Found Sculpture
Louise Nevelson was a creator of
wood assemblages made from found objects doused in paint. She worked hard to get
recognition in the mostly male art world, but wished to be seen as more than
just a ‘woman artist’.
1. I glued the
basic square as shown ahead of time for the young students to keep things
sturdy. Give each student white glue and enough sticks to fill in the box as
shown to make a flat board.
2. Collect a bunch of small items (like buttons, paper clips, puzzle pieces, etc.) that have different shapes and textures and have the students glue them down with generous amounts of white glue. Let dry overnight.
3. If you have the budget, paint heavily with white or black acrylic paint so the art has a shine when complete. If not, tempera paint will work too, you just may need more coats to block out color

Here are also some pictures from the sculptures made by last year's students to give you more ideas.
