Wall Piece due 2/12

We are going to look at the exhibition Space as Medium at MAM.
http://www.miamiartmuseum.org/Exhibitions_Space_as_Medium.asp

The sculptors in this show took the exhibition environment into consideration when they created their artworks. For the next assignment you will make a sculpture to be exhibited on the black wall in the critique area. Your sculpture can hang or lean on the wall. You can use any materials you choose, and your sculpture can be abstract or representational. The sculpture must be at least 4' in one direction.

Feb. 5 Studio day. Come prepared to work, bring your sketches and materials.
Feb. 12 Critique

Some wall pieces for inspiration:

Hi Ms. Gast,

I was wondering if i could come into the shop on Wednesday to cut some perforated metal I'm using in my sculpture. Would launch be okay, if not then maybe sometime after school?
