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:
