Found Object Art Installation w/ Matthew Fischer

Participants will use elements we have made over the last few years to experiment with installation art. An introductory lesson with string will start off the workshop, and then we will discuss how simple arrangements of pre-existing or made objects can take on new meanings when placed in the the context of a specific space. The workshop includes taking pictures of your work and presenting it to the class. Installation artists and fond object artists from recent history will be used as touchpoints.

Materials:
All supplies can be found at home.
