Inspired by sculptures like Three Quintains (Hello Girls) by Alexander Calder, this class explores the exciting world of kinetic art—art that moves! Using paper, paper clips, scissors, and glue sticks, we'll experiment with color, balance, and abstract shapes as we design and build our own kinetic sculptures. Through playful making and discovery, we'll see how simple materials can create artworks that balance, spin, sway, and dance in the air. Taught by artist Maggie Latorre.
