Arts Explorer #2: Instant Sculpture

Instant Sculpture is a particular point in time's product.  Different direction has different image.  Here are the four dimensions, each offering a different view on the sculpture. As each person views art differently, so can I with the help of looking at this sculpture at four different angles. The sculpture is quite simple: stack up pennies and place them on various surfaces. Use your eyes and creativity; add a spice of imagination... and voila!
According to Schirrmacher & Fox (2009) stated, "ECE children can sculpt with clay; this is vital to early childhood. Both art and movement involve nonverbal expression"(p.270).  


The reason behind the sculpture:
I used the penny because its worth is close to none - production of the penny is almost abolished by the Canadian government. After taking the abundant pennies from my purse and mindlessly playing around with them, I realized that they do have worth - as art. The penny is irreplaceable yet so easily dispensable.

Here's a work in progress... enjoy!
