6/7 Abstract Sculptures 2019/20

What is an organic shape? What does non-objective mean? How can we use common objects like a wood block, hanger and nylon stocking to create a unique sculpture? We looked at a variety of sculptures from artists such as Henry Moore, Pablo Picasso, David Smith, Louise Nevelson, Barbara Hepworth, Alexander Calder and Jean Arp. All of these artists have one thing in common, they created abstract sculptures. The armature of the 6/7 sculptures was created from a wire hanger, shaped into an organic shape. Nylon stockings stretched over the hanger were then painted with acrylic paint with paint pen details added.
