Homage to Bridges
There are a multitude of types and styles of bridges in this world but the ones that stand out are noted for their inspiring design and breathtaking views. Your sculpture team’s challenge this year is to select a notable bridge and create an original sculpture that embodies the inspiration and passion evoked by that bridge’s design.
Research remarkable bridges around the world. Research historical and contemporary artists whose styles align with the design of the bridge of your choosing. Create an original sculpture that literally, metaphorically, or both, pays homage to the bridge you selected. Consider carefully how the media of your choice best reflects your design. Your sculpture may be of any size, shape, and media, but may not exceed 16 square feet of floor space and must be able to fit through a normal doorway. No water or other liquids are allowed to be part of your entry. Originality and creativity are important.
