Studio Art – Wire Self-Portraits

After teaching the proportions of the human face, students practice drawing themselves. Then students transform those drawings into expressionistic wire sculptures. I love the way these look with the cast shadows. This is a nice project that introduces working three dimensionally with just line.

Melissa I love these. What kind of wire did you use for these?

Honestly, its whatever wire I can find at the time. Sometimes I get it at a hardware store or craft store. Pliable and cheap because students end up with lots of scrap because of the trial and error process.
