>Activity 1: Interpreting Landscape
>Activity 2: 15 Minute Sculptures


Select two objects and one joining material. Transform them from their usual function into something else with a real or imaginary function. Set a 15 minute limit.


Discuss: what were the objects - what did they become? Record through line drawing, and title.


Resources

A collection of disparate functional objects:


  • bicycle pump
  • cotton wool
  • puppet
  • fake flowers
  • potato masher
