Create > Name Totem
Goal: Create a sculpture from letters
Catalysts:
animate, empathize, fantasize
Studio: Stylize the letters of your name, varying the design and shape of each letter. Trace each letter to a slab of Styrofoam or wood or cardboard and cut out with a knife or hacksaw blade. Decorate each letter in a different manner. For example paint one, wrap one with twin, glue sand to one… Figure out how to stack the letters vertically to form a totem.
Be inspired by Robert Indiana > http://robertindiana.com/ , one of the preeminent figures in American art since the 1960s, has played a central role in the development of assemblage art, hard-edge painting and Pop art. A self proclaimed “American painter of signs,” Indiana has created a highly original body of work that explores American identity, personal history and the power of abstraction and language, establishing an important legacy that resonates in the work of many contemporary artists who make the written word a central element of their oeuvre.
