Dear Sculpture 2 students,
Anytime I’m about to begin a big studio project of my own, I spend some time looking at other artist’s work. This helps me come up with better ideas. As you’re working on your sketches this week, I think you’ll find it helpful to look at some examples of sculpture created with woodworking and steel fabrication processes. I just looked through the files on my computer and collected some images from the web that will, I believe, help to illustrate some of the various ways that artists put these materials to use. For most of the images I’ve included the artist’s name so you can do a google search and learn more about their work. You may also want to check out Tim Hawkinson’s work. There aren’t very many really good images of his work online, though, so you may want to visit this site and watch the videos on his work.
Best,
JDM
