By creating a sculpture from line, young learners were able to hone their understanding of contour realized in a sculptural form. Galvanized wire was manipulated by the students through bending and riveting to layer line contours in a small depth of field.

The students had the opportunity to explore how lighting creates cast shadows accentuating and transforming the way the final piece is experienced by the viewer.
Here is some samples of their artworks:
