Inspired by Nevelson
Egenes, Barbara
Arts & Activities, v149 n5 p32 Jun 2011
Louise Nevelson's circular assemblage, "Collegiate School" (1972), was the inspiration for an art class with the preschoolers at the Kent Children's Center. Nevelson (1899-1988) was the ultimate "found art" artist. Finding interesting throwaway objects, in and out of trash bins, she constructed assemblages that completely changed their former use. After putting objects together in a form that pleased her, she painted them black, white or gold. Some of her assemblages filled an entire room. By the example of Louise Nevelson, and creative thinking, one would learn that objects may have another use other than what they were meant for. Recycled objects may be turned into works of art.
