Sculpture and Pattern

Using installation Eurydice Prevails by artist Elpida Hadzi-Vasileva as inspiration, design and create your own patterns and add to a natural sculpture.

Task 1 – Research: Find out more about Elpida Hadzi-Vasileva. Follow the activity sheet

Task 2 – Creating Pattern: Go for a walk and take photos of natural objects, try zooming in. Now to create patterns - Could you use a Kaleidoscope App for a different view? Or a square mirror?

Task 3 – Create a stencil: Once you have created a pattern draw them out and create a stencil using card.

Task 4 – Decorate an object: Use this stencil to decorate a natural object, such as a stick or stones.

Task 5 – Siting your object: Once the object has been decorated, find a suitable place to locate it, you might try a number of places and take a photograph in these different settings.

Further inspiration can be found on the activity sheet prepared by Rosny Hayward.
