Mobiles

First, the 7/8 Visual Art students studied each others' faces and did quick blind contour drawings like those of Alexander Calder. Next, they began wire face sculptures using wire and Twisteez.



After the wire faces, students began studying Calder's mobiles and studied color schemes and geometric and organic shapes. They cut shapes, painted them in chosen scheme, and built wire mobiles using fishing line.







Then the room started to fill with mobiles hanging from the ceiling everywhere, along with the dreamcatchers from a previous project.
