You can create a Kinetic Sculpture on your own. This student created a Kinteic Sculpture of Wish Bone by using Legos

Arthur Ganson creates Kinetic Scuptures meaning they move. His is usually powered by machines and motors. Some by gears turned by hand. Kinetic Sculptures can move by wind or as simple only when someone blows on it.

Arthur Ganson aslo uses at times found objects. Such as a Wish Bone, dolls, and other objects. This is a form of Junk art the use of found objects to create art.

Project use the objects given to you to create a sculpture. You may try to make it moveable by blowing on it or through some use of hands ( not thowing) if you want to try that. A successful junk art sculpture is one that does not fall apart when picked up.
