Box Top Assemblages

Sculptor Louise Nevelson, known for creating with discarded objects, playfully called herself “the original recycler.” Her monumental sculptures—often all-black or all-white—fit together like puzzle pieces. In this virtual family workshop, repurpose to-be-discarded objects around the house into an assembled sculpture in a shoe box lid or cereal box.

Materials:

• Cardboard or plastic box base (a shoe box lid, cereal box, or produce container works well)
• Solid colored paper, paint, or a thick marker
• Household objects to repurpose like paper towel and toilet paper rolls, metal tins, plastic tops, egg cartons, corks, bottle caps, or soda tabs, rubber bands, paper clips, and more!
• Scissors
• Liquid glue (or a strong tape like masking or duct tape)
