The students began this project by being given a piece of wire that was 5 feet long. They then had to twist the wire into an interesting abstract sculpture and shapes. We then nailed the wire down to a block of wood and the students began covering the wire with tissue paper and modge podge to stiffen it up. The next step was to select 2 colors of paint and start one color at the top of the sculpture and the other color at the bottom of the sculpture. Where these 2 colors met in the middle the students had to blend them together so they faded out gently. The students then had learned about Aboriginal dot painting and had to paint dot designs similar to early Aboriginal artists on their entire sculpture.
