ART SCULPTURE BASED ON BLUE

BLUE was the book selected for the 2009 ALAMANCE READS (a community wide reading event). The Friends of the Alamance County Library pulled off some incredible events related to the book and its various themes.

Today, in connection with the upcoming issue of TALKING STORY newsletter which I co-produce with Carol Baldwin I am reposting one of the group sculpture projects that Artist, Ann Hobgood created with local youth.
Ann Hobgood with Found Objects Sculpture Based on Blue
She simply (and I'm sure it wasn't simple!) listed EVERY SINGLE ITEM mentioned in the book, collected them, and the group assembled them into one amazing sculpture!

Enjoy!

  1. What a great idea--I am so going to do it with my students! Why have I never thought to do a sculpture with items mentioned in a book? Duh!
