Visual Arts Notes from Mr. Miceli
Abstract Movement Sculpture
Kindergarten
Medium: Paper, Tempera Paint, Oil Pastel
Skills and Technique: Sculpture techniques, Understanding abstract art
Artists can use three dimensional forms to create an optical illusion for the viewer to perceive that the art is moving around in different directions or showing action, when the art is sitting still. This sculpture project utilized students' abilities to imagine themselves creating a whole new world. I instructed the students to think of the pieces of paper as if they were something that showed movement towards us, the viewer. Each placement of the paper is creating another element to the story of the work of art for us to wonder. Students use fine motor skills to glue and hold the pieces of paper so that they are popping off of the background, not flat like they are used to gluing at this age. Once students understood the technique, they went on their journey to create an eye “popping” abstract sculpture.
