We develop an approach to generate random graphs to a target level of assortativity by using copula structures in graphons. Unlike existing random graph generators, we do not use rewiring or binning approaches to generate the desired random graph. Instead, we connect Archimedean bivariate copulas to graphons in order to produce flexible models that can generate random graphs to target assortativity. We propose three models that use the copula distribution function, copula density function and their mixed tensor product to produce networks. We express the assortativity coefficient in terms of homomorphism densities. Establishing this relationship forges a connection between the parameter of the copula and the frequency of subgraphs in the generated network. Therefore, our method attains a desired the subgraph distribution as well as the target assortativity. We establish the homomorphism densities and assortativity coefficient for each of the models. Numerical examples demonstrate the ability of the proposed models to produce graphs with different levels of assortativity.
