Assemblage sculpture
Another type pf sculpture we learned about was Assemblage sculpture which is made by assembling different elements together, often everyday objects found by the artist or bought especially. We decided to go scavenge in our house and see what bits and bobs we could find to make some art with!
Spray Foam Sculpture
I had been seeing so many posts on Instagram about using spray foam as a medium to create sculptures and we just had to give it a go. This ended up being one of Nixie's absolute favourite sculptures that we did.
Dubuffet Inspired Sculpture
Another artist we learned about was Jean Dubuffet. We really loved his bold abstract people shapes and first spent time looking at some of his work before having a go at making this really simple paper sculpture.
Bird Sculpture
While searching online for different sculpture artists we came upon the work of Barbara Kobylinska who creates these incredible birds with an abstract flare which we fell in love with immediately and knew right away that we needed to include a piece inspired by her.
Giacometti inspired sculpture
Ever since last year when Nixie discovered Nixie's love for Barbara Hepworth I knew that we would at some point spend more time learning about different sculpture artists and the different mediums that exist to create sculptures out of.
