This first year wire project developed students' knowledge of the figure and movement. Each student was presented with a character from the ballet The Nutcracker. Individually, they explored the proportions of the body before teaming up to construct a wire structure based on their characters. These were then installed in the reception area as part of the art department's Christmas Installation. Below is an example of a baller figure displaying movement. Experimenting with light allowed for multiple figures to come to life, similar to the ballet.
