Assemblage is an artistic or media form usually made on defined substrate consisting of three-dimensional elements projected out or from a substrate. It's similar to a collage, a two-dimensional medium. It is part of the visual arts, and usually uses objects found, but not limited to, these materials.

Histori
The origins of art forms date to the construction of cubist Pablo Picasso c. 1912-1914. The origin of the word (in artistic) can be traced back to the early 1950s, when Jean Dubuffet created a series of butterfly wing collages, which he titled assemblages d'empreintes . However, both Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso and others have worked with objects discovered for years before Dubuffet. The Russian artist, Vladimir Tatlin invented a "counter-response" in the mid-1910s. Together with Tatlin, the earliest female artist who tried his hand at the assembly was Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, Dada Baroness. In Paris in the 1920s Alexander Calder, Jose De Creeft, Picasso and others began to make full 3-dimensional works of metal scraps, discovering metal objects and wires. In the US, one of the earliest and most productive collection artists was Louise Nevelson, who began making her sculptures of wooden fragments discovered in the late 1930s.
Artist Armando ReverÃÆ'ón is one of the first to use this technique when using disposable materials such as bamboo, wire, cable or kraft paper. In his thirties he made a skeleton with wings of murcilage, adopting this style many years before other artists. Then, ReverÃÆ'ón creates instruments and organizes pieces like telephones, sofas, sewing machines, pianos and even music books with their scores.
