Assemblage is an artistic form or medium usually

created on a defined substrate that consists of

three-dimensional elements projecting out of or

from the substrate.

It is similar to Collage, a two-dimensional medium.

It is part of the Visual Arts  and it typically uses

found objects, but is not limited to these materials.
