Wire sculptures


4th grade students looked at artwork by Steve Lohman and discussed how simple his people were. They noticed that though his sculptures didn't have many details, he was able to convey movement and what it was exactly that the person was doing. Students experimented using Twisteez wire and then sculpted a person doing some sort of movement. Students were able to make props with pieces of cardboard. Many students found sculpting with wire to be challenging, but once they got the hang of it, they were able to create very convincing people.
