WHAT WE ARE DOING

WHY WE ARE DOING IT

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.
