Paper Magic: Calder-inspired Sculptures

We started our week with some Paper Magic.
We've done Alexander Calder-inspired projects before and somehow they turn out to be my favourite!

The more I learn about this artist, the more I love his whimsical work.

'Pink Stripey Socks' featured a paper sculpture, combined with bright coloured paper and stickers produced beautiful pieces http://www.pinkstripeysocks.com/2015/05/calder-inspired-sculptures-kids-art-project.html

Both O and C picked out their favourite solid colour of paper, cut into a long rectangle.
They covered the front and back with colourful circle stickers and then folded their rectangle in half lengthwise.
I cut curved lines nearly to the centerfold, before opening and folding out the strips in opposite directions.
A little bit of art, engineering and learning about balance.

O later could be found writing the letters of her name in stickers!
