A.P. Sculpture student did a quick exploration of interior and exterior space using micro-organisms as inspiration. They used limited materials in a limited time frame: Zip ties and "O" rings over the weekend. This is what they came up with.

Ah, to build, to build! That is the noblest art of all the arts. Painting and sculpture are but images, are merely shadows cast by outward things on stone or canvas, having in themselves no separate existence. Architecture, existing in itself, and not in seeming a something it is not, surpasses them as substance shadow.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) U.S. poet.

Neither is it the right angle, which me attracts, nor the straight line, hard, inflexible, made by men.
What attracts me is the curve, free and sensual, the curve I find in the mountains of my country, in the winding course of its rivers, in the waves of the sea, in the body of the beloved woman.
The universe is made out of curves - the curved universe of Einstein.
(Oscar Niemeyer)

Doing more with less.

(Richard Buckminster Fuller)

The A.P. Sculpture students have been creating structures out of simple materials: tape, cardboard, wire, aluminum tape, and some patina for the surface. The main objective when creating 3-Dimensional forms or sculpture is to make dynamic shape, lines, and space.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. (Albert Einstein)

Walking Field Trip

Pritzker Pavillion from the bridge over Columbus Dr.

A.P. Sculpture Students went on a walking field trip yesterday. We explored parts of Millennium Park and looked at the wonderful architecture the city has to offer. We talked about kinetic and acoustic sculptures- art that moves and has some sound element to it. We discussed how "alien" the structure of the Pritzker Pavillion looks in comparison to the city scape. And, we had fun looking at and discussing how Cloud Gate (a.k.a. The Bean) was constructed. A great day! Photos will be coming soon...

Here we have an example of student work. This bust was a self-portrait created in clay.

Hi everyone,

this class will focus on preparing a portfolio for A.P. Sculpture. You can find out more by following this link:
