Wire Sculpture


A finished wire sculpture

Our final project of the quarter is also our first and only sculpture.  This one day project challenges students to further explore the art elements of space (depth) and form (three-dimentional shape). Students construct a wire person and manipulate the human figure within the context of the classroom environment.  Problem-solving skills are employed to achieve the balance and stability of a free-standing structure.
This project is a brief introduction to one of the many ways humans interact with art.  Specifically, that a work of art does not have to be static to be considered "art".
