Minimalising: Using Simple Line Drawings to Explore Sculptural Form

By Sheila Ceccarelli

Exploring form using a reductive or minimalising approach to drawing as a tool to study form. Using simple line drawing to explore sculptural form, students drew constructed sculptures of animal skulls that they’d created the week before Constructing Sculptural Skulls in Heavy Paper and Tape.

Skull Sculptures: using Paper and Tape to Interpret Form

Which Artists: Faith Bebbington

What We Like About This Resource….

“Faith’s work creating sculptures using recycled or discarded plastic is really beautiful, and exceeds expectation of what we might consider scrap plastic being able to do. The processes she uses, particularly with the dancing figures, are all easily accessible to a school setting, with tape, card, wire being relatively inexpensive and simple to use. Delivering an Art project using waste plastic has cross curricular links with other subject areas, particularly PSHE and Geography where children may be learning about the environment and how to protect it” – Tobi, AccessArt.
