Place Sculptures

Use what you’ve learned about materials to make a sculpture about a meaningful place

Jan / Feb 2020

Design an abstract sculpture that represents one of your favorite places. Use materials that will help convey ideas about your chosen place.

Begin by writing about your favorite place. Allow descriptive words and phrases to inform your sculpture.

Think about how you might use color, form, balance, unity, and juxtaposition to emphasize your ideas.

Before you begin, check out these examples by the students at Northside Middle School in Norfolk, Virginia!
