Presentation Transcript

  1. Calder Stabile Advanced 3-D Art

  2. Visual Arts Standards: • 2.1 Create original works of art of increasing complexity and skill in a variety of media that reflect their feelings and points of view. • 2.2 Plan and create works of art that reflect complex ideas, such as distortion, color theory, arbitrary color, scale, expressive content, and real versus virtual.

  3. Artist of Inspiration Alexander Calder • Born 1898, died 1976 • Best known for making sculpture move. • Inventor of the mobile.

  4. National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.

  5. Stabiles “Stay-beals”

  6. Calder’s Non-moving Sculptures

  7. Notice how his sculptures are flat planes that intersect one another.

  8. Vocabulary: • Kinetic art = art that has actual movement • Stabile = a freestanding kinetic sculpture (a standing mobile)

  9. Minimalism = Art that emphasizes extreme simplification of form; defined by use of basic shapes, limited color palettes, and anonymity of style.

  10. Lesson Objectives: All students will exhibit mastery in… • Creating a 3-D form from 2 or more flat planes • Making sculpture move • Capturing the minimalist style of Calder

  11. Materials: Mat board, paint, wire, glue

  12. Project Requirements: • Overall sculpture is at least 12” tall • Base and mobile pieces are painted • At least 3 wire arms with at least 1 shape on each arm. • Stabile has free movement (each arm must be balanced properly and assembled so arms do not crash into each other.)
