Secondary color wood sculpture Part two: This is a two part lesson. In the first part the students learned to mix secondary colors and will be painting wood shapes. In the second part they will use these shapes to create a sculpture. If a student has missed the first lesson he can create the sculpture first and if there is time, paint it after it is constructed.
Materials:
Scrap pieces of wood
Glue
A covered work area
Found objects (buttons, beads, bits of colorful wire etc.)
Set up: - Put students painted wood pieces on desks.
Discussion:
Explain that you will be talking about form and sculpture. Ask what a shape is: shape is a 2-dimensional closed figure. Ask if anyone can think of what the definition of form could be: three-dimensional closed figure. What does a form have that a shape doesnʼt?: thickness and depth.
Explain concept of dimensions: if I lay down on a piece of paper and someone traces me, they have drawn my shape, but if they make a sculpture of me, it will have my hight, width and depth. So a sculpture is a work of art that you can walk around, that is 3-dimensional and has height, weight and depth.
If possible: show student a picture of a sculpture. It has a front, back, top, bottom and sides. Ask someone to describe what it would look like from all the sides. Discuss how that sculpture was made. Tell the kids that they will be using the wood pieces they painted during the last lesson to create 3-dimensional sculptures.
Project
1.Encourage students to pick up and move the wood pieces around, students
will begin to see shapes and creatures appearing. The object here is not to create a sculpture of anything in particular, but rather to explore and investigate forms interacting with one another.
2.Once there are some ideas floating around, the pieces of wood can be
attached to one another with glue to make wonderful sculpture.
3. Finally, found object embellishments can be added to complete the picture.
