Found Objects
"Found Objects" refers to items that are discovered in their natural or existing state, often in unexpected places. These objects can include anything from discarded materials to natural items like stones or leaves. Artists and creators frequently use found objects in their work, transforming them into new pieces of art or functional items.
The practice of using found objects is common in various art movements, such as Dadaism and Surrealism. Artists like Marcel Duchamp famously incorporated everyday items into their art, challenging traditional notions of what constitutes art. This approach encourages viewers to see beauty and meaning in the ordinary.
