Week 3- Found Object Sculpture
Monday, April 6th- Friday, April 10th
What is a found object sculpture?
Found object sculptures are artworks created from undisguised, but often modified, objects or products that are not normally considered to be art materials, often because they already have a non-art function. Basically, making art out of stuff that isn't usually considered "art."
