Accumulation Art



I am learning about accumulation art in my 3-D art class;  I am noticing accumulation art everywhere!  What accumulation art is: Start with an everyday item, begin a pattern, repeat several hundred times.  Try layering rubber bands or gluing 500 styrofoam cups together!

I found some great samples of artists who've used accumulation art to create everyday items while cruising through this great blog http://www.liveinart.org/2012/01/top-ten-diy-eco-friendly-projects

This blogpost by Alison, the artist, follows her progress through the process of creating this soda can tab light! http://the3rsblog.wordpress.com/2011/10/17/soda-can-tab-small-pendant-light/




How about this cork arm chair by Artist Gabrielle Weiss! Go to: http://www.liveinart.org/2012/01/top-ten-diy-eco-friendly-projects.html




Or this light fixture made from....clothespins! Find it at:  http://www.mesila29.com

I use accumulation art everyday in my button bouquets and didn't even know it! There are around 300 buttons in my wedding button bouquet!

For some reason, blogspot doesn't like it when I post multiple photos but go to the sites yourself and see these great works of accumulation art!
