1) The document provides instructions for two wire sculpture projects - a self-portrait bust and a larger 3D sculpture of an object, person, or animal.
2) It emphasizes contour lines to define shapes, using photographs for reference, and considering how the sculpture will interact with and occupy its space.
3) Examples show a range of wire sculpture techniques from minimalist portraits to more complex sculptures incorporating different gauges of wire and negative space. Proper use of reference materials and viewing the work from multiple angles is advised.

Principles of Design
“Train of Thought” by Leo Bridle
Simple Outline
“A Journey for Love”
I. Leo Bridle and Ben Thomas were the film makers.
a. I believe they are in their late 20s and early 30s, and they graduated from the Arts Institute at Bournemouth.
b. From the United Kingdom.
II. The basic structure of the artwork is Film.
a. Material used was digital compositing software and all the animations were done by hand and not the compositing software.
b. The subject of the seemed to be the young artist and he seemed to have been in search of someone. Everything seemed to be between and a gray/sepia scale with a design using cut outs and wooden toys.
III. I think this whole film was based on love.
a. My 1st idea is that he is trying to find the woman he loved. He may have seen her before at the station and drawn her out of memory and may have come back to find her there. When he didn’t, he hopped on the train in search for her only to come up empty. I believe he used his drawing pad as some sort of map as to where she may have been. When he doesn’t find her, he returns to the station once again and this time, he finds her. He then realizes that she may be an artist as well and may have gone through the same processes to find each other.
b. My 2nd idea is that he may have drawn her as well as the other drawings in his book subconsciously and realized this was a woman he had to meet. He then returns to the train station, which is the setting of his drawing. When she doesn’t come, he hops on the train and then goes in search for the woman that he loves. When he doesn’t find her he returns back to the station and that is where he finally sees her. They go towards each other and hold hands, seeming like they both went through the same measures to find each other.
I think the way the film makers used photography and film made this a very interesting form of media. Everything looked cartooned and real at the same time. The train station and the train themselves looked like they were made out of wooden toys and the people all looked like cut outs that were animated to look like they were moving, inside of their cut out frames. This was a well done film and they filmmakers did a wonderful job. I must say it sure caught my attention.

"A Maiden in Born"
My color is milky white and thus a maiden is born... I was created by the great sculptural artist Ernst Wenck in 1901. He created my soft white body by using his strong meticulous hands. He is indeed an artist. I was created in a time when conservatism was not very popular. Because of my intricate detail and the delicate image I carry I became a model for porcelain miniatures.
If you study my structure you see the qualities that may have lead to my continued popularity. I lean forward and you see the muscle tone of my leg by the light tha ...

2. PROJECT 1: Create a life size 3-dimensional self-portrait/bust with wire. You will need a mirror and
photographs of yourself for source material, wire, gloves, black spray paint/primer, wire cutters and a
container such as cardboard to transport your sculpture. You will focus on descriptive contour lines
that define shapes. For the student seeking a more of a challenge, try incorporating mass. (see
attached examples)
PROJECT 2: Create a 3-dimensional wire sculpture of a person, animal, or object of interest. The
sculpture needs to be a minimum height or length of 12 inches. You will need all the materials listed in
project 1 for the sculpture plus source materials such as photographs, statues, toys, etc. of your
subject. For this sculpture you can, if desired, focus on mass as well as contour.
Take into consideration how the sculpture will be presented (engineered for hanging, sitting on a
counter, projecting out of the wall, interacting with architecture such as doors, corners, etc.) How will
it occupy the space?
Even in the pursuit of naturalism don’t discount the powerful expression of gesture in your lines. Study
the attached examples.
I strongly recommend you search the web to find other examples of wire sculpture for inspiration.
Far better to have a simple concept executed magnificently than a clever concept executed poorly.
You must use source material (photographs, toys, physical objects, etc.)
3. This elegant wire sculpture uses a minimal
amount of wire – mostly one long wire.
Note the specific-ness of the smirk and the
less is more approach.
Every contour is important in a minimal
sculpture.
4. This sculpture is flat and not 3-dimensional. When creating a wire portrait, don’t draw a
“happy face” outline with the wire. Contours and facial features should project
outwards, inwards, and around. Be fluid in your process, remember to turn and view
your sculpture from many different perspectives throughout the entire process.
5. Avoid distracting bases like the neck.
Use dark wire and accentuate the
features of the physical face, the
contours of the face.
6. If struggling with the wire portrait, I encourage students to try and create a portrait
with one long wire. Also I encourage students to start with a feature such as an eye,
nose or mouth – and then discover your way to the next feature as if the sculpture is
a 3-dimensional continuous contour drawing in space.
Avoid starting out with or worrying about bases. Capture the 3-dimensional contours
of the portrait first and foremost. How it stands can be secondary.
Be more interested in how you do something rather than what you’ve chosen to do.
Focus on the form and don’t let imagination/concepts be an excuse for poor
craftsmanship.
8. The student didn’t use source material. The trunk and branches are much too uniform.
It is missing the organic tapering, detail and variety inherent in the shape of a tree.
9. This artist used different
gauges of wire to great effect.
Notice the lovely fur-like
texture achieved by using lots
of very small wire pieces.
.
10. This lovely Rhino head would be even more effective if the the dark connecting
knots/ties were minimized to be less distracting.
11. This frog was astonishing. When
you moved around the sculpture
you could envision it’s form very
clearly.
The artist brilliantly used negative
space to suggest what isn’t there.
The hungry frog was even
complimented with a floating fly.
12. This elegant portrait subtly used negative space to describe the features and planes.
Notice the specific shape of the eye and top lip. The hair contour line beautifully
describes a head of hair without having to use lots of wire.
13. Notice the lovely contour of the bear’s back and spine and the mass of wire that gives
the bear visual weight.
14. Working with something that is 3D
and not 2D requires a different, more
fluid process of constantly rotating
your work to view it from multiple
angles.
15. Notice the textured hair and the stylized
pattern on this creature.
The artist used a giraffe as the source material
but decided to emphasize the stylized quality
of the patterns on the creature to great effect.
16. This dog doing his business is engaging the environment. You can place him almost anywhere!
23. How will your sculpture stand or sit?
These sculptures capture the gesture of the
human body.
24. Gestural lines gracefully capture the long lines
of a shape and the sweeping movement of the
artist’s arm.
25.
26. This cat is missing a naturalistic gesture in it’s movement. Beware of creating “tube-
like, Slinky” bodies. This student did this from imagination without source material
. . . . bad idea.
27. These are works by the great Antony Gormley. Notice the swirling lines and how they
suggest motion or movement.
29. Portraying Romulus and Remus the founders of Rome in a minimal fashion.
Notice what isn’t described.
30. Notice the mass and visual weight of this fantastic sculpture.
31.
32. The swooping gesture on this owl is
fantastic.
Notice the outline contour of the
owl’s talon.
This sculpture was hung from the
ceiling.
33. Notice the negative space (unfilled space) and the text on this fun boxing glove.
34. Check out this wonderful light bulb. Notice the use of different gauge string for effect.
35.
36.
37.
38. To create this funky portrait, the artist had to
study the anatomy of a skeleton.
The artist also used different gauges of wire.
39. Keeping wire rigid and straight can be difficult
when mimicking machined objects like this
camera and acoustic guitar but these artists are
successful.
