May 10: Sound Suit Critique
Get to know sculptor Nick Cave from Chicago, and his Soundsuit series. This is a big project. You will have at least two in-class work days to complete it. It will count for 2 grades (one for your project critique and one for being prepared & working in class). For this project, make a wearable sculpture that covers your whole body. Look at the artist Nick Cave's Soundsuits for inspiration, but make the idea your own. Try to incorporate sound into your project. We will have a parade for the critique, so make sure you can see.
For this project you may use all of the skills and materials you learned about this far: cardboard, sewing, natural materials, found objects, and assemblage.
