Make a Doll

We discussed making art dolls next year with all of our students so I decided that now was the time to search for some insiration. I found a lot of examples on the internet and there are lots of sites which supply templates. This seems to be a good site. This has good instructions. How to make a sock doll here. All I need to do is make one myself as an example. I think I might link it to self portraits/life drawing. If anyone has done this with a class please share your experience and any good links you have.

End of Year

Just some of the 3d projects my 3rd year students produced for the Junior Cert 2010. Excuse the poor quality I ran around the room with my camera phone. Project themes include, Raindrops, out and about, lifes little comforts and community spirit.

Keys

I love the sculpture which is designed and built by Jili David, voted the most influential Czech artist of the last 20 years. The 6-meter-tall artistic construction spells the word “Revoluce” (Revolution) with the lower letters considerably distorted. Made using 85,741 metal keys.

Flowers and Plants

I found this hub while Iwas looking the flowers and plants up the-flowering-of-art-flowet-paintings-or-the-flower-as-seen-by-the-artist. Simple Kids Craft have lots of how to make videos, they might be worth checking out for younger students.

Tattoo Artist

Many of my students like tattoos, I came across this Artist this evening and thought I would share. Look at his exhibition art its great how he transfers the tattoos into art work. Scott Cambell Isint defacing or tampering with US currency is a federal offense?

I found an amazing Blog Josh Cote Fine Sculpture (check out his octopus) while helping my students to research sculptures. They were really impressed with what they saw. I also foud some sculptures from Elizabeth Berrin, Josh Cote and Louise Bandy.
