Element of art: Form takes up space (3D) and is real or implied.

Haegue Yang was born

in 1971 and is a South Korean fiber

artist best known for her knitted

sculptures. The sculpture (upper right) incorporates items found around the house!

Knitting is a folk art that uses two

“needles” to create interlocking loops of yarn that form patterns.

After creating a length of spool knitting, what will you make

with it—a functional piece of art like a bracelet? Or an abstract sculpture?

If you don’t have yarn, string, or

thread, try cutting a plastic bag into

strips as a substitute! OR CREATE A

SCULPTURE USING ITEMS FOUND IN

YOUR RECYCLE BIN. Upload a photo
