Create > Image of Humans


Create > Image of Humans


Goal:  Portray a human activity by making a symbolic wire sculpture.

Catalysts:  
Animate, empathize, fantasize  

Studio Activity:  
Portray a particular image of man; Man the Inventor, the Artist, the Sportsman, the Magician, the Hunter and so on.  Interpret the concept with wire.  Use any type or types of flexible wire (even a coat hanger will work) to create a three-dimensional sculpture.  Add additional elements to further emphasize the theme: clock parts, transistors, pills, ruler, map, mechanical parts… Mount the wire sculpture on a wood base and title appropriately.


Artist Profile:


Be inspired by the works of Rachel Ducker > http://www.rachel-ducker.co.uk/ British contemporary artist Rachel Ducker is well practiced in life drawing and with an appreciation of the human form and the emotional dynamics of human nature.  Originally trained as a jeweller, Rachel experiments with wire as a media for sculpting the human form, capturing something ephemeral, either emotive or active.
