Making Sculptures: Enclosing Space

By Sheila Ceccarelli

This exercise is part of a series of exercises developed to help students gain an understanding of how to make successful and articulate sculptures and understand sculptural properties, both aesthetic and physical.

Working slowly and intimately this week, in contrast  to the challenge set the previous week of making large, quick expansive sculptures Reaching the Limit – Making Taller than Lifesize Sculptures and Stretching Materials, students made small, private work.

Jonathan Ford – Sculptor’s Sketchbooks

Jonathan Ford, sculptor, shares his sculptors sketchbooks.

“All drawings were part of the evolution of Meth V, a creature who now lives at the Jerwood Sculpture Park. Processes involved the collection of boxes & boxes of images from magazines, books and pamphlets. The images were then cut with scissors and drawn onto or transformed into part of Meth V. No scanning or computer involvement was used for these images.”
