3-in-1 Kinetic Drawings (Sol LeWitt, continued)

This piece of art may not move, but it sure does make you move. After exploring Sol LeWitt, students created three separate minimalistic drawings that explore three-dimensional shapes and design. The drawings were colored in using three separate color schemes: full-color, monochromatic, and black, white, and grey. Then, students created a base to hold the three drawings. There was a lot of measuring, folding, cutting, gluing, and taping that went into this project. The final result is a sculptural piece that has three separate drawings to be viewed by standing at different angles.

These photographs show the multiple views of one piece… 

Sol LeWitt

In fifth grade we are currently learning about Sol LeWitt, and beginning a project based on his artwork (more to come on the project later). A couple years ago, I had the chance to see his exhibit at MASS MoCA in Massachusetts. It was one of the neatest exhibits I have seen. If you are ever in the area, the exhibit is actually going to be up until 2033! MASS MoCA also happens to be a pretty cool space. It is huge and has a warehouse kind of feel. LeWitt's wall drawings are huge! In class, we watched a timelapse video showing the process of creating a wall drawing.
