these are some of the creations the pupils came up with.

kinetic sculpture









While planning the art camp, I Googled kinetic sculpture and came upon so many interesting concepts. These are some of the examples I found, and then I found structures they could be inspired by.

my attempt. (the egg-shells catch the wind and make the structure turn)
I took my Grade 11 Visual Art learners to T.O.Strand in Leisure Bay last weekend for an Art Camp.  We did all sorts of creative stuff, the idea to bond and be creative outside of the box.

"Art is the only way to run away without leaving home" - Twyla Tharp

I have been paired with an artist in the USA in a paper exchange project. There is a new theme for every month and the idea is that you post an envelope filled with interesting "papers" which will then be used by your partner in collage work.

The theme for November is postage and mail.
