Alexander Calder was an American sculptor known as the originator of the mobile. He also created numerous wire sculptures and an entire play circus out of wire and found objects. Our 5/6 class used Calder's fish mobiles and other wire sculptures as inspiration for their own original wire fish creatures. We used contour line drawings as a template to shape the wire and followed our own design sense to experiment with various line configurations and shapes to complete our mobiles.
