3D Wire Sculptures
Project Description: Students will be creating 3D Sculptures using wire as the primary medium. In order to made the sculpture look like the subject, students will need to follow the Contour/Cross Contour or Gesture Lines of the subject.
Contour drawing, is an artistic technique used in the field of art in which the artist sketches the contour of a subject by drawing lines that result in a drawing that is essentially an outline; the French word contour meaning, “outline.”
A cross contour drawing contains parallel lines that run across the surface of an object (or radiate from a central point), such as those that appear on a topographical map or a digital wireframe.
A gesture drawing is a laying in of the action, form, and pose of a model/figure. Typical situations involve an artist drawing a series of poses taken by a model in a short amount of time, often as little as 10 seconds, or as long as 5 minutes.

Drawing to Sculpture Time Lapse
PROJECT GOALS:
-Wire sculpture looks like subject chosen (Recognizable REAL subject.)
-Wire is connected using one or more of the connecting techniques (no glue or tape, see above).
-Finished Sculpture consists of all lines to form 3D image.
-Subject stands on its own, or create and connect to a base.
***Pliers are going to be your best friends during this project. Use the necessary tools to make sculpting easier for you.
