LE students learned about Alexander Calder's sculptures. We compared them to his contour drawings and discussed how contour drawings were similar to wire in line quality. After my demo, I had them choose a reference of an animal, draw the contour and trace their drawing with wire. Several students had difficulty with the wire so in the next class, I had them follow each of my steps in sculpting a bird and then finish their previous sculpture.
These are very sweet. You may see a project inspired by this posting sometime next year on my blog. They are very cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mrs. Hahn! I think they're very cute too:)
ReplyDeleteWhat did you use as a base for these?
ReplyDeleteHi Janney, I went to the Recycle Center (in RI) and they had a whole bin of these plastic lids!
