Eleven artists have been invited by the Dutch Sculptors' Association to make
installations either using natural material or reacting to nature. (click on

Lots more out there...... look up site specific sculpture and public
sculpture...not sure if I answered your question. I have done similar
lessons using plaster addition and wire/styrofoam/cardboard armatures. I use
Henry Moore, Alexander Calder, Jean Arp, Claes Olderberg, David
Smith.....and others. I would like to see what sites others use. Woody had a
nice sculpture "tour" on his site.....Hey Woody! are you reading? Could you
post the link.

Subject: site-specific sculpture?
I'm preparing a lesson to do with my advanced art 8th grade class on
site-specific public sculptures. I want them to pick a public place or
building and design a maquette for a sculpture that would go with that site.
I'm going to have them make the mini-sculpture out of clay. I also want
them to create a poster with a picture of the place for their sculpture and
a written statement about the place and how their sculpture would fit into
that location. They would also include their preliminary drawings on this
poster. Has anyone done this type of project before with a class and have
any ideas for me? Does anyone know any good websites about public
sculptures or any public sculptures I should definitely include when talking
about this? Thanks in advance for your help.
