My Instant Sculpture

My sculpture is very personal; for years my subjects were family and close, close friends.

Art Word of the Week:

Line

This sculpture contains all different lengths of lines and weight of lines. The lines that were used for the grass are short and long in some areas.  Where as the tree trunk, is is a bit longer than the others that were used.  There are curvy lines used to make the tree bushy.  The lines that were used to make the house are both short and long lines that form a square and a triangle to make the roof, and then a smaller square to make the door.  As for the sun, that contains lines that are short.  As it can be seen through my sculpture, lines can take on many different uses and sizes, texture etc, to make a master piece!

My sculpture is something that is very important to me, which would be my home, it's a place where I always feel safe.  The sculpture shows different kinds of texture, smooth and bumpy, that is from the magazine paper that was used to make this sculpture.  The reason why I chose to make this sculpture was because when I was younger this would be my favourite type of picture to draw because I loved the outside, I would be outside till the street lights came on.  Home is a place where you are able to feel the warmth of the love from the people inside, yet you still have a place of your own that you know is just your space.  Having a place where it can allow you to be creative and create your own sculpture will allow you grow and just have fun with whatever you can find around your house, after all my sculpture was just made out of magazine pages!  The magazine pages also represent that nothing is the same when it comes to creativity or perfect, everything has flaws and its up to you to see past the flaws and be able to see the work of art that has be created around us.

For Educators:


Who doesn't love creating something out of the items you can find around your house?!?! This can allow for the children to be creative with what they use to make their sculpture.  This allows the children to think outside of the box and teaches them to recycle items they use.
