K2 Louise Nevelson Inspired Sculpture  

K2 students have been inspired by the work of Louise Nevelson and created individual sculptures. After looking at a print of a Nevelson sculpture

the children selected recycled materials: paper towel rolls, cookie trays, etc. and arranged them in an interesting pattern inside a box. These materials were hot glued into the box in the exact arrangement of the student. Next the children painted their artwork with gold paint.

Louise Berliawsky Nevelson (born Leah Berliawsky, September 23, 1899, Kiev, Carist Russia - d. April 17, 1988, New York, New York) was a Ukrainian-born American artist.

Nevelson is known for her abstract expressionist “boxes” grouped together to form a new creation. She used found objects or everyday discarded things in her “assemblages” or assemblies, one of which was three stories high: ”When you put together things that other people have thrown out, you’re really bringing them to life – a spiritual life that surpasses the life for which they were originally created."

These individual sculptures have be combined together to create one large sculpture.
