May: Calder Mobiles
With a degree in mechanical engineering and a passion for the arts, Alexander Calder experimented with Kinetic art through the creation of two different types of sculpture: the mobile and the stabile. Composed of delicately balanced components that respond to air currents, Calder’s mobiles are graceful and poised. In contrast, stabiles are non-moving sculptures. The Cone, 1960, combines elements of mobile and stable sculptures. This lesson is inspired by the mobile art of Alexander Calder and the theory of kinetic energy, with a focus on the principles of balance and movement.
All supplies will be provided. Registration required. Adults Only.
This program will run every 3rd Tuesday of every month in the Mary Hollis Conference room, located on the 1st floor of the Central Library.
(Next door to the Library Shop).
