Abstract Sculpture
For younger students, play an "I Spy" or sorting game with sculpture images. Attributes to look for:
- Geometric shapes/forms
- Biomorphic shapes/forms
- Inside/outside sculptures
- Sculptures that resemble animals or people
- Sculptures that don't resemble anything
- Big/little sculptures - explain how you decided this (scale in relation to its surroundings)
With older students, challenge them to construct a definition of abstraction based on what they observe in the sculptures.
