Landscape Sculptures in Wire and Mixed Media: Working Through Ideas

By Sheila Ceccarelli

To get the most out of this post have a quick look first at Drawing to Feed Making – Making to Feed Drawing, which explores how drawing and sketchbook work can feed ideas whilst making sculpture and exploring sculptural form and vice-verse.

In this post I follow the development of four teenage students’ work during a one and a half hour session, working from the theme of landscape and concentrating on drawing and making simultaneously. Students were introduced to modelling wire and modroc as construction materials and paper and drawing and collaging materials were also readily available.

Morag Thomson Merriman

Mo is a Scottish visual artist with a MA (Hons) degree in Fine Art. Her work is an intuitive response to the way memory is overlaid with historic or recent experiences of loss, absence and change, experimenting with ways to convey ‘presence’, or the sense of something being revealed or concealed. She is inspired by familial connections to the landscape and her inherited collection of earthy textured pottery ware. Small in scale, her work is mostly on paper, manipulated with mixed media to create subtle, richly textured surfaces. Mo is responsible for all social media marketing for AccessArt on Instagram and works part-time.
