Fifth Grade Advanced Art Wire Sculptures

Ms. Combs' fifth grade art students experimented with a new sculpture medium in their most recent Advanced Art classes.  Students looked at artists, such as Alexander Calder, that used wire to make sculptures.  They then set out to use the wire to capture their vision.  They discovered the challenges of working with wire, practiced with tools, and decided how they would display their sculptures.  All in all, they were proud of their work. 

These 5th grade girls were so proud that they were able to learn how to use tools to bend, twist, and cut the wire.  

The students hard at work.  

Dance and make art?  Why not?
