Inspired by Joseph Cornell: Making a Decorative Aviary Box
I had really enjoyed creating sculptural birds for AccessArt’s Share-a-Bird Project and inspired by the current exhibition at the Royal Academy of the work of Joseph Cornell, I made an aviary with a flock of decorative birds based on Cornell’s bird box constructions.

Thanks Sheila, it was a real pleasure to look so closely at the work of a particular artist and use that as a jumping off point for a project – and exciting to combine making processes with print. The exercise has given me lots of new ideas to explore.

Lovely. My teens are going to love working in this way – there’s a lot of scope for personal development. I’ve been thinking about a box project so excited to start with thinking along these lines….thanks Andrea for some short cuts to my planning! ; – ))
Joseph Cornell’s work lends itself so well to really personal project work which teens really love.

Hi Ellie, I’m so pleased that you can use the post in your planning for your box project. I’m intrigued and would love to see how your teenagers use Cornell’s ideas to inspire their own work – I do hope you’ll post pictures once they’re finished!
