Hey guys,
Don’t forget to start thinking and collecting items to use for your wire sculpture details. Remember to think about details that enhance the sculpture’s pose, not just details for fun!
Recently a parent asked if they should purchase any items for this project. My response was, one of our objectives in this lesson is to utilize and recycle from found objects. For example,
- Paint a marble for a baseball
- Use cardboard from a box for a surfboard
- Create a mitt cut from a scrap of leather from an old shoe tongue
- Use the wire and tinfoil to create a sword and shield
- Use yarn to create a pon-pon for a cheerleader or hair
- Make a cape cut from a discarded item of cloth
We will be using the week of December 14th before the holiday break to construct the items in class. Remember, the gesture sculpture is more about the action; the details are ways to suggest what that is. Try to be resourceful about finding and recycling materials from disposable old items around the house , so a trip to an art supply store might not really be necessary!
