What is Assemblage?
Assemblage is an artistic process involving the combination of three-dimensional objects to create a work of art. The term, which originates from the French word for assembly, often involves the use of found objects like leaves, stones, discarded items, or recycled materials. These objects are arranged creatively to form a unique and often thought-provoking artwork.

ARTWORKS RELATED TO ASSEMBLAGE
Cubism is an art movement that aimed to depict multiple perspectives of objects or figures within a single picture. Artists Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso pioneered this style around 1907. The name Cubism emerged from their use of geometric shapes and outlines that often resembled cubes, breaking objects down into abstracted forms.
Ceramics is an art form that involves creating objects from clay. The clay is shaped, molded, and formed by hand or with specialized tools, then baked (or fired) in a high-temperature oven called a kiln. Decorative colors and special glazes can be applied to the surface, which are then fired again to finish the piece.
