Making wind sculptures using materials available to us
Our wind sculptures will help us (and others) see the wind
ACTIVITY MATERIALS
1
Think about materials you might use, and how they would respond to the wind. You can either use light/ aerodynamic parts with fixed connections, or parts that will move in the wind because of a flexible/ dynamic connection.
2
Create your first prototypes!
You might start with the base structure-- is your sculpture going to be based around a tower, or be handheld, or be hanging from something?
Add your parts that will move in the wind.
3
Test your design! With a handheld or electric fan, see how the sculpture looks and behaves in the wind.
