Mobiles

MOBILE by Alexander Calder (1898-1976)

Making kinetic sculptures require the artist to apply the laws of physics, sound hard?  It can be, depending on the scale of your work and choice of materials. Start small and work your way up, that's what I always say. Each student will design and construct a small mobile. Once they have completed the parts (I am requiring them to make at least seven parts, starting with very small, 1" or less across, on up to larger, 7" to 12" across) I will assist each student individually with the balancing of these parts.
