Week Three: Form
May 4 - 8
Form is a relative of shape, the difference is, shapes are 2-D (2-dimensional) and forms are 3-D (3-dimensional). Sometimes artists create 3-D sculptures that can be looked at from all sides, and other times they create drawings that look like they’re 3-D. Both are examples of form. Below, you can learn about a few artists who use form in their art. Then, you will find some form art projects. Happy Creating! |
Claes Oldenburg – Oldenburg is famous for sculptures of common objects. One of his most famous sculptures, Spoonbridge and Cherry, is in Minneapolis! |
Michelangelo – Michelangelo was one of the first famous sculptors. He made very realistic sculptures of people out of stone. To do this, he had to have a strong understanding of every muscle and bone in the human body! |
Alexander Calder – Calder made mobiles. A mobile is moving art that is usually hanging from the ceiling. Click on his name to learn more! |
