Students studied the 3D sculptures of American artist Alexander Calder. He is known as the originator of the mobile. His fine and delicately balanced sculptures move with the wind or are powered by a motor. The students twisted and manipulated thin bamboo to create a 3D piece and then stretched tissue paper over chosen shapes to establish areas of colour. Like Alexander Calder's kinetic sculptures, the students' sculptures move with the wind when fixed into the ground. Some sculptures hang in the trees. This was a collaborative art project and the enthusiasm was electric. No doubt there will be some kinetic sculptures at Sculpture by the Sea.
