Sample Residency Description: Sculptural Pods: The Wire Garden
Using industrial wire and other materials, students will learn textile techniques applied to metal as they create botanically inspired sculptural forms. This residency will begin with a survey of botany in world artistic traditions (EALRs 1.1-1.3) and a discussion of representation, abstraction and the correlation between science and art (EALRs 3.4-3.5, 3.7]. Students will gain hands-on knowledge of pattern and repetition through handwork, each building a stylized sculptural botanical specimen. The workshop culminates with desktop display and discussion followed by an exhibit of student projects in the classroom, school display case, or library (EALR 2.1].
EALR Focus:
1.1 Understands and applies visual arts concepts and vocabulary
1.2 Develops art skills and techniques
