Session 4: Turning Shapes into Forms

In this session, students take inspiration from sculpture and assemblage artists like El Anatsui, Alexander Calder, and Louise Nevelson as they explore balance and how to build and attach materials together. Students will also explore color choices that enhance 3D work. We will explore the definition of sculpture as we look at monumental, minimalist, and ancient sculptural art forms.
