The idea

Be inspired by the work of two sculptors, Alexander Calder and William Tucker, to create your very own living moving sculpture.
Alexander Calder changed the way people saw sculpture by making sculptures that moved. He also used materials which were not traditionally used in sculpture. William Tucker questioned traditional approaches to sculpture by experimenting with abstract forms and construction.
