So far I've only been to two of the metal-smithing workshops at the Visual Arts Center. During the first class we learned about the different tools and types of metal we would be handling. After watching a slide show of metal sculpture we started our own wire sculptures.
Essentially, we were 'drawing' with wire. I never really thought about it that way until sitting in the class and looking at the examples. The ironic thing is that many of the examples looked like attempts to make the sculptures appear as sketches of sort, while we try to make our drawings appear 3-dimensional.
