You have to understand that, primarily, I'm not a 3D kind of person when it comes to art. This isn't to say I don't enjoy 3D art. It just means that I don't do much of it myself, preferring to paint or draw. So wire sculpture, which I had never done before, was entirely new. But still, I thought, how hard could it possible be? Well...
The first thing I figured out is that most of my class took to wire sculpture quicker than I did. They had a blast, and one of the classes is going to do it again next week, although we're going to bring in some corrugated card board shapes as an extra element. I can't wait to see what happens.

Personal first try: butterfly on a stick (in Green Bay colors). I don't think it would be a good idea to remove it, so don't ask me to. |

The rare, pink one-legged songbird. My husband thought it was a chicken, but I let him know pretty quick that it was a normal bird, thank you very much. |

I thought this was clever. One student made a dark thunder cloud with a tornado below it. The wind is blowing, the lightning is lightninging (is that a word?) and the birds are caught in the vortex. Drama with wire. He was totally satisfied with this hanging sculpture. |
I'll try to get the rest of the photos up later so you can see the other student efforts. Who knew wire could be so much fun?
Oh, and a final tip. Don't sit on your sculpture when you're done. We found that one out the hard way.
