My own Assemblage

Our next project is making self-portrait using assemblage technique. I made two project:

1.

The first one, which I decide to choose, was made using old box, rice, Rubik's cube, ends of darts, deck of playing cards and half of the small ball. It was designed to present human (mine) face made of things which influence my personality - my hobbies, passions etc.

2. 

The second one was made out of lamp, cowboy hat, cards, CD's, belt.

My final product looks better than I expected:

The main idea of my project was to make face of man out of objects that will represent my passions, hobbies and me. I used CD as lips, they represent my possion towards music. Cards were used to show my hobby - playing cards. Half  of the ball stands for sport, which I like, shoestring ties everything up and pasta represents food. I changed some things when creating my project. Instead of using rice I used pasta. I also change Rubik's cube to clock and added shoestring. Nevertheless I think my product is better then I could have expected. I could make this assemblage bigger and I could have then add more things to my product.

Assemblage

Assemblage is simply creating 3D or 2D art work from any objects. The idea of assemblage is to change the meaning of used object, for example sword can be used as cross. Every object and its arrangement is symbolic which gives sybolical meaning to the whole piece of art. One of the artist who used this technique was Władysław Hasior. His date of birth is on 14th of May 1928 in Poland. He finished two great art schools in Poland and then received a scholarship from French Minister of Culture. He is considered as a person who introduced assemblage to Poland.
