6th Grade Wire Figures

Sixth grade students studied porportion and the figure to create these wire sculptures.  We spent nearly an entire class period drawing the figure in a variety of action poses.  Using 20 guage galvanized steel wire, the students first created a skeleton and then wrapped the wire around the skeleton to give the figure some "meat."  The students painted a piece of scrap wood for the base and we drilled holes to attach the figure to the base.  Displayed here are some of the sculptures with mostly correct proportions.  :)
