This is Red Fox by Edward Netley. Netley first made the fox out of wire mesh, then made a cast for it. From there, it looks like he painted it a bronze/brown color with a black nose, ear tips, and legs.


This is by Jen Gagne. It is a Lightning bug and is made out of 12 karat gold filled wire, black copper wire, red copper wire, steel utility blades, 23 karat gold leaf, and glow in the dark plastic.

surface treatment of wire mesh/ creating form with wire mesh

In order to get more ideas for surface treatment of your wire mesh sculptures I
would like you to post two images (small to medium in size)
from this website
http://www.wirelady.com/berrienwiredirectorypage.html
 one of the images must be found from the alphabet portion that contains the letter from your last name
ex. Last name Smith look in P - S

2.Explain how the artist created a sense of depth, space, and form.

- The artist created a sense of depth, space, and form in this sculpture. They made the sculpture to have the same characteristics as a real lion. The fur on the lion gives the sculpture a sense of depth and it adds to the realism effect the artist created.

3.Explain what you have learned using wire mesh on your sculpture of a small animal
or insect and how it will help you create your final wire mesh sculpture.

- I learned that wire mesh may take time to get used to, but it is also easy to bend and manipulate to other forms. Creating the insects gave me an idea of what I would be working with for the final project and taught that you should focus on small parts of the project then build it up from there.
