This project was inspired by reading about the artist Louise Nevelson in the book WOMEN in ART. Louise created sculptures from found objects which she them often painted all black. I love the open-ended nature of this kind of project where you are free just to create any form using wooden components and glue.

MATERIALS:
- A selection of wooden or cardboard objects - blocks, parts of old toys, clothes pegs, wooden craft sticks, peg dolls, old puzzle pieces, thick cardboard tubes.
- Wood glue
- Paints - you could just use black or a variety of colours
HOW TO:
We found to easier to begin our wooden sculptures using a large wooden block or tray and start building from there. Many of Louise Nevelson artworks were made as wall panels so you could begin with a flat base and build a textured panel or build a more 3D sculpture.
