Stick Sculptures Part 2

On Tuesday we continued looking at stick sculptures with our artist Joe. We looked at some abstract objects that could be made with the wooden sticks and the plasticine in small groups of 5 children approx.

We then progressed onto combining each small group’s abstract sculptures with a partnering group using string/wool. It was really fun to see how the sculptures all combined together with another group’s creation…. I hope you can see this in the photos!

Below are some of the sculptures….. as you can see hopefully, the white card as a background really makes the creations stand out!

“It was difficult in the middle of making the shape because once you put another part on, the other part fell. Overall it was really cool and fun. My shape was random and when I finished it collapsed.” ORLAITH

 

“I thought it was a bit hard because it kept falling down. I put more plasticine and it started to stay in shape.” HANNAH

 

“I thought this would be hard at the start but it got easier as time passed.  It was really enjoyable.” LOUIS

 

Joining the individual structures together was difficult as some of the structures were fragile and fell apart while being moved.

They look very effective with the white card backdrop.

Here is a different view to the same sculpture in the previous photo. This picture was taken from an aerial perspective!

 

Hannah, Sarah and Caoimhe give some feedback to Joe on how they attached their individual structures together.

“I just didn’t know what I was doing at the beginning but gradually it became this abstract creation.” CAOIMHE L.

 “I tried to make my sculpture as futuristic as possible. It was very fragile and it soon fell over.” RONAN MC E.

“My structure tried to represent an explosive star in the solar system. It was difficult to keep the structure upright and it collapsed!” JUDE

This photograph demonstrated it’s instability, but it still looks good!
