Reflecting on Found Object Sculptures.

Insert a picture of your Found Object Sculpture (found on Picasa) into a post on your blog.

Describe how you began. What object inspired your project? What were the formal qualities it possessed that inspired you to turn it into something else?

Describe any feedback you got from the scavenger hunt conversation we had in class today.

Keeping in mind the original expectations for the project and the conversation we had in class today, describe what about your sculpture is successful and what you could have done differently.

The Potential of Found Objects.

Below you see a group of sculptures made from found objects similar to the ones we've been "playing" with so far this week.

On your blog write in response to the following questions:
What is it about objects or parts of objects that gives them the potential to become a part of a sculpture like the ones you see below. In other words how or why did the artists choose the objects they did? Use specific examples from the pictures below.
