Art Class-Alexander Calder

Last week we looked at Alexander Calder for art class. Check out this website for tons of photos and a great bio. He came from a family of artists and was the first to sculpt with wire (like drawing 3D pictures with wire). He is known around the world for inventing the mobile which is art in motion. He has done many large metal pieces that are displayed around the world in outdoor areas. I enjoyed looking at his many pieces and think his work is quite fun. I went overboard taking pics, so I put them in a slide show. The kids really enjoyed this art class.

OOOH I like the pipe cleaners with the mobiles. So much better than a hanger!
