ASSEMBLAGE CHECKLIST
Your next project will be an ASSEMBLAGE (a
work of art made of found objects). To create an
interesting assemblage, you must go on a
TREASURE HUNT to find the following:
1. A GRADED WORKSHEET from your favorite
class (other than ART )
2. Something from NATURE (leaf, twig, bone,
seashell, feather, flower, etc.)—must be clean,
dry, and DEAD
3. A QUOTE that inspires YOU (may be written,
printed, or cut out of a magazine)
4. A MAP of any kind
5. Something with a PATTERN
6. A piece of FABRIC
7. Something SHINY
8. A DRAWING of your FAVORITE ANIMAL (to
be completed in class)
9. A LABEL from a food product
10. Something made of WOOD
11. A PHOTOGRAPH of a PERSON
12. At least 2 SMALL, THREE-DIMENSIONAL
OBJECTS (button, empty thread spool, bottle
cap, coin, key, playing card, movie ticket stub,
metal hardware, old toy, plastic fork, etc.)
HELPFUL HINTS: 1. A good artist is always observing
the world around them! Wherever you are (walking
home, in the cafeteria, at a football game, in a restaurant),
search for materials that attract your eye and/or are
meaningful to you! 2. Check off the above materials once
you find them! 3. Enlist friends and family to help! 4.
Find only materials you don’t mind cutting, gluing, tearing,
painting, etc. 5. HAVE FUN!!!
