wire sculture reflection

Look back at your sketchbook, your final wire sculpture and previous blog posts. What have you learned about line? 

I have learned that line can be used to express many things, including movement, stillness, form, and emotion. The amount of lines can express the form in different ways including the intensity of the object or the volume in a 3d sculpture. The more accurate lines you add, the more realistic and 3d the figure seems. The lines can also represent movement if the lines are used in the right manner. 

How have you improved with the wire and tools over the course of the project? can you think back to a specific moment when you needed to find a creative solution to a struggle you were having with the material? how did you solve that struggle?

Yes, I feel like I have most definitely improved with wire and tools though out the course of this project. In this project, at one point I was having trouble making the points of intersections between the wire. I solved this by making the intersections not only stabilize the structure, but also turn it into another line that could benefit the form. 

Looking at the "Habits of Mind" document on the homepage. Using that document, how have you developed your craft with this project? How have you "stretched and explored" with this project?

I feel like I challenged myself and developed my craft in this project. I explored different ways to express the figure, and learned and changed my habits when I learned new things. I felt like I also improved the process of developing my craft and learning to work with wire, as I have never done it before. I think that now that I can work with wire, I can now express my ideas in one more form and I have learned how to express my ideas through art even more clearly than I was able to before.
