Calder Junk Sculptures
May 12, 2010
Our Fourth Graders recently studied the sculptures of Alexander Calder. Many students were familiar with the giant red-orange sculpture on the Calder Plaza in our own downtown Grand Rapids, and they were surprised to learn that Calder is such a well-known sculptor! We learned that Calder sometimes made his sculptures from found objects and junk….and we were off and running with these Calder/Earth Day recycled junk sculptures. (And….Mrs. Brouwer got to clean out some of those items that just can’t be thrown away – but what great sculpture materials they became!)
