Last spring my students studied Richard Hunt, a Chicago sculpture artist who uses recycled metal scraps to create small and large scale abstract sculpture. We had gotten a really great set of cups, pizza tables, boxes, dowels and Styrofoam from Creative Pitch and got busy! The work turned out amazing because the students were able to use the creative freedom afforded them by the amount of different materials available.
Some of the students made pieces focused on balance and tension.
Some of the sculptures appeared to be functional objects.
One of the kids brought in his father's old airplane made of recycled materials!
One of the sculptures was made to be hung while another looked like it was blowing in the wind.
Sometimes you are just still interested in two dimensional art work.
