Louise Nevelson was a Russian-American sculptor.  As a child, she spent a great deal of time at her father's workplace- a lumbermill.  Without a doubt this must have influenced her choice of materials as an adult artist.  Nevelson used scrap wood to create her box-like sculptures.

   

A few of the 4th graders accepted my Winter Break challenge of creating a Nevelson-like sculpture at home.

Brooke and her dad went all out! They constructed a wooden box, painted it white and then used foam-board and hot glue to create the sculpture.  She even made a display board to accompany the work of art.  She titled the piece "Dimension of Snow."

Asia created a paper box and then used scrap paper to create a collage inside.

 

Savannah used white index card to make her boxes.  She drew designs on the back wall of the boxes and also created miniature free-standing sculptures for the inside.
