Art is fun when it's full of exciting activities for students to dig into their creativity. There are all different kinds of art projects and it's sometimes hard to choose from. As fifth graders, we will be studying about stabile sculptures and actually making our own. Have you ever heard about this topic? You probably haven't because it's a project that isn't very famous. I am wondering how did Mr. George, our Art teacher find out about this amazing topic. When he introduced this topic to my classmates and I, I felt pretty boring since this topic was pretty complicated for me and it sounds lame. As we get further into our projects, I started gaining my interest from the fun activities and planning sheets that were given out. We were told to look up images, videos and do some research on this topic. I was the most inspired when my art teacher showed me a real stabile sculpture made by an artist and it was amazing. I will ask him for the website and share it with all of you later. Sorry for going on a tangent:) Let's look at some images for a better idea of what a stabile sculpture looks like:
These are just some basic examples of stabile sculptures. We can also use other different materials to create this abstract sculpture. In my opinion, these stabile sculptures look very abstract when the shapes hanging from them are balanced and their shapes are very unique. I am looking forward to making one this quarter:)
P.S Down below is a playlist made by Mr. George that will inform you about stabile sculptures and guide you through the process of making one.
