Is it a drawing or a sculpture? Why not both? Many artists made contour line drawings on paper, but Alexander Calder was the first to use wire to create three-dimensional line "drawings" of people, animals, and objects. These "linear sculptures" introduced line into sculpture as an element unto itself. Explore drawing as a three-dimensional process by manipulating wire to capture the movement and personality of a person or object. Begin by practicing some continuous line drawings before translating one of these drawings into a wire sculpture.
