Found objects are materials 'found' (such as pebbles, candy wrappers, or leaves) and not made (such as inks, paints, and crayons.) Some people collect these objects. Others use them to make art. Such art is called found art.
The term, foundart, or more commonly, foundobject (French: objet trouvé) describes art created from common objects that are not normally considered art.
Foundart derives significance from the context into which it is placed, thus blurring the traditional distinction of what is art, and what is not art, and challenges the nature of art.
Pablo Picasso used foundobjects as the basis for Baboon and Young.
