Chihuly Inspired Sculptures

2/3 Artists created these Chihuly inspired sculptures using a coffee filter, coloring with markers, a little spray starch (we put them over a plastic cup with a rubber band to dry), and mounted on black board. The students loved creating these. Watching the colors run together and blend was beautiful. Every student's was a success!

Tape Sculptures--Inspired by Mark Jenkins

More photos of these to come! This is a favorite at summer camp where I teach high school figure drawing and figure sculpture. Middle schoolers love these too! Students are working on placing their work in an environment, and photographing them. Students cling wrap their model, then use clear packaging tape. The key when working on a real person is to have a ruler next to the body so that you can cut a seam on the ruler. Close call with a fire drill and a girl wrapped up--whew!

Students can choose to work in a group or individually with another object such as my junk picked horsey!
