Project Educate: AssemblageHello and welcome to Project Educate! Today we will be focusing on assemblage. The term "assemblage" is credited to artist Jean Dubuffet and it refers to work that incorporates everyday/found objects that are not generally thought of as art materials. The incorporated objects can retain some of their original intent, while picking up a symbolic meaning in the artwork. Assemblage pieces can be 2D or 3D and also fit into the mix media, collage, and sculpture categories. Some notable artists to use assemblage i
Project Educate: Installation ArtInstallation art describes an artistic genre of three-dimensional works, that branching from sculpture, are more about the concept than the form. They are usually designed for a specific site, but can be mobile, to transform how the space is viewed. Installations can incorporate a wide variety of materials, from soda cans and wood to video and lasers. So if you've ever been to a laser light show, you've seen installation art. Though it did not become regarded as a distinct category of art until the mid-twentieth century, it has probably been around since prehistory.
Project Educate: CollageCollage , a term coined by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, is a mainly visual art form that uses a combination of many smaller items arranged to make a new work. The term is derived from the French word "coller", meaning "glue". Collages can incorporate hand-made papers, newspaper clippings, photographs, and anything else the artist can get their hands on, then pieced together and glued onto paper or canvas. Though the techniques of collage have been around for millennia, within the fine arts realm it is considered modern art. :thumb294894942: Notable collage artists:
Project Educate: Mixed MediaIn the realm of visual arts Mixed Media is a work that employs two or more distinct types of traditional media. A work of art made with oil and acrylic paint would be mix media. The acrylic should generally be the first layers, because they dry much faster and tend to crack when applied over oils, unless that's the effect your wanting. Using vine and compressed charcoal would not be, as they are the different types of the same medium. Mixed Media should also not be confused with Multimedia. Multimedia combines visual element with non visual elements, such as music and interactivity.
Project Educate: ScratchboardThe modern form of scratchboard originated in the 19th century in Britain and France. This is a technique using knives(and other implements) to scratch(etch) designs into a thin layer of white China clay(may also be several layers of multi-colored clay) that is coated with black India ink. Scratchboard became a popular medium for reproduction because it replaced other more expensive mediums in printing,and could photographically reduced for reproduction without losing quality. It was widely used in scientific and advertizing illustration, and is still the prefer method for some professionals. In the fine art arena, scratchboard is used more as a stand alone work of art than as a device to make prints. -
