Wire Sculpture

"Three Point Buzzer Beater"
by Max Stoltzfus

My art sculpture is a basketball player shooting a basketball. I call it “3 pt. Buzzer beater”. I got inspired from my love of basketball. My emotions here were hope of getting the shot. I reached my goal of making a wire sculpture that was 3d and in color. Like the basketball. My final piece was better than I imagined.

"Many-Armed Thought"
by Ezra Kauffman

This wire sculpture is titled, “Many-armed Thought”. It is a sculpture of an octopus made of wire. It is called “Many-Armed Thought” because octopi obviously have many arms (8), but you might not know that they have rather large brains proportioned to themselves. They can problem-solve, self entertain, and use tools. This is where the Thought part of the sculpture name comes from. For me in particular, it was really fun to work with wire and pliers to create a sculpture like this.

It is also really satisfying to sproing it’s head!

"Mila" by Darah Kraenbring

I made my wire sculpture based on my rabbit named Mila. When I thought of what mattered to me she was one of the first things I thought of. In my sculpture she is sitting in a green grass field eating a yummy carrot.

"Discus"
by Josh Lucas-Towers

This piece represents my love of throwing in track. This represents my first ever season of track and my discovery of a part that I now really enjoy and hope to do for the rest of my life.

"Cartwheel"
by Sophie Rothwein

I decided to make a wire sculpture of someone doing a cartwheel. I do gymnastics and I thought that it would be a good fit. This sculpture was very fun to make, no doubt, but it was a lot harder than I expected. The wire was very hard to twist. The colored wire was much easier to twist around the body and legs. With this artwork I want to inspire people. I want to show people that no matter how hard it is, if you work hard enough you WILL get it done. Maybe this sculpture is simple but it shows hard work put into it.

"Grass" by Papsy Paz

My artwork is about a deer standing on grass looking out and trying to find food. To make this I needed wire, pliers, and colored wires. The emotions shown in my artwork are fear. My goal was for my wire to look like a deer. I was thinking of nature when I picked my animation. I love my artwork because it shows lots of emotions. I could have added more details, but I am super proud of my artwork.

"Gator" by Caleb Weire

"A Mess"by Arturo Veras

My artwork was a mess in my opinion. I didn't really like how it turned out, especially the palm of the hand. The palm of the hand wasn't really filled in as well as the fingers. This idea came from a slinky so I went to the teacher and asked if i can do a slinky but i didn't meet the requirements. The requirements are that it has to be an animal or human in motion and a slinky is an object. So I made a hand. I made this art from galvanized wire and 2 pliers. My thoughts are overall kinda bad because I didn't really like the finish on the hand.

"Creative Disaster" by Jasper Baunee

Creating and imagining things are not really my strong suit. As an artist I have gained a habit of taking inspiration from whatever, be it dinosaur, a desk, or a bird and just make it. So when I was working on my bird, I just gave up on making it look like the picture and just made something. I thought alot when I was making this bird. I never was into drawing cartoon-like things, I like to draw realistically and with more detail. I would take a picture and I would draw that picture as detailed as I could onto paper with the goal of making it look exactly the same. It's hard but I have done it so much it really doesn't feel hard to me. The wire bird reminds me of my experience with drawing from inspiration, Though the sculpture is significantly harder to do I enjoyed my experience. The only difference between the sculpture and copying a drawing onto paper with pencil, is how much I thought and created. With drawing all I really did was copy, with the bird I really felt like I was making something despite still taking inspiration from something. When I started my wire sculpture I wanted to just make the sculpture look exactly like the picture, when I realized how hard it was to do that I improvised and made something (that was equally as hard ) that felt so much more rewarding, despite it looking like a deformed dragon.
