  • Students investigate the educational background of contemporary sculptors to find the role engineering plays in the creation of their work.
  • Students create a poem to respond to the aesthetics of their completed sculpture.
  • Students explore the scientific theories necessary to explain kinetic sculpture.
  • Students explore their feelings about the use of computers in sculpture for planning,
    enlarging, and constructing sculptures.

Student artwork: kinetic sculpture.

Reflection

Students did not anticipate the problem-solving skills they would have to employ to install the sculpture. Some students found that their original design needed to be abandoned in favor of an alternate approach. Because the process was new, students tended to rely on subject matter that was known to them.
