Assemblage (composition)

Assemblage is like when you make a puzzle, but instead of just fitting pieces together, you get to use all sorts of different things like feathers, buttons, and paper. These things are put together to create a big picture or 3D sculpture.

Just like when you make a puzzle, when you make an assemblage, you usually start with an idea or plan. This helps you choose what things you want to use and where you want to put them.

When you make an assemblage, you can use all sorts of different things like paper, cloth, plastic, metal, and more. You can use scissors, glue, and tape to put everything together. You can also add paint or draw on your creation to make it even more special.

One of the cool things about assemblage is that you can create something completely new out of things that might have seemed like trash or garbage. It's like turning something old into something new and beautiful!
