Peoria Art Guild

Students will look closely at the work of Louise Nevelson, known for her abstract sculptures made from cast-off pieces of wood — actual street “throwaways” — uniformly coated with black or white spray paint. Students will create their own assemblages from wood pieces and other cast-off objects on a panel.

Nevelson is credited with saying, “I think all great innovations are built on rejections.”

Art Without Boundaries Eligible
All materials are supplied by the Peoria Art Guild, but students are encouraged to bring their own "found objects" to personalize their sculptures.
