There are no rules whatsoever, no right way to create with wire. Wire Sculpture Wire is a mobile inkline. Instead of drawing with a pen, you draw with the wire itself. There are no rules whatsoever, no right way to create with wire.

Three Wire Exercise How many different things can you do with just 3 wires? Think about objects you enjoy looking at, think of a few important aspects of that object and try to get them down in wire How many different ways can you attach the wire to itself? How strong or weak are the results? What happens when you combine 2 or more different thicknesses of wire? Can kinked wire be straightened again? Does it have to be?

Two major Elements in Wire Sculpture Design: the form and impact of the wire sculpture Structure: the degree to which the sculpture holds together

Subject Matter Figure: a depiction of the human body Figure/Object at rest Figure/Object in motion Bust: a sculpture of a person's head, shoulders, and chest

Types of Lines Outline: a drawing or picture that shows only the shape of an object Contour Line: slow and controlled line that focuses on the edges of an object Gesture Line: quick, energetic and catch the movements and gestures of an active figure

Expressive Lines Using line to portray a certain feeling or emotion Less concern with naturalism

Additional Vocabulary Shape: An enclosed space having only two-dimensions Can be geometric or organic Form: Three-dimensional and encloses volume Wire gauge: a measurement of how large a wire is, the higher the number, the thinner the wire

Wire Sculpture Criteria Use of line Did you make good use of line by wrapping wire continuously with no shapes dangling and the sculpture is an integrated whole Did you create line with wire, moving from area to area in a fluid manner? Did you accurately represent the proportion of the object? Did you successfully create a form that occupies space in the round? Problem solving Craftsmanship Technical skills Effort Risk-taking Time on task
