Miniature Circus due 12/18


Circus from ch ga on Vimeo.
 
Stills of Alexander Calder's Circus

Together the class will make a miniature working circus. Students will work in pairs to make miniature circus acts. You will perform your act on critique day. You may use any materials that you think are appropriate for your idea. We will set up on a table in front of the black wall, so scale your pieces accordingly (3' x 3' x 3' max). Describe your act in the comments section, and make sure not to do something someone has already signed up for.

Think about music! You can make your own music, bring a song on an mp3 player, or check out the circus songs playlist you can play on lala.com. You can play any of these from the teacher's laptop during your critique. http://www.lala.com/#artist/Sounds_of_the_Circus_South_Shore_Concert_Band The class account info is: login nwssculpture9@gmail.com password: circus
