Gr9VA Figure Experiments

Wirework & Paper:
Shayne Laing in 9B made the top figure and she inspired 9T to make their own quick experiments. The bottom figure on the first image was made by Kelsey Taylor.

And this figure was made by Tarryn Govender

Stitching plastic shapes to create forms:

Tia Joseph's figure has a triangular head so she experimented with cutting out plastic shapes and drilling holes.  She is now stitching the shapes together with string. 

Here is an image showing how her flat triangles have become three-dimensional forms...

Stitching Techniques:



Samke Ngema in Grade 9 used to make clothes for her dolls so she stitched this beautiful dress for her figure.  She learnt chain stitch in the last lesson so she is currently prettifying her visible stitches.
