Q: I have an art project coming up and I need ideas...
I need to make an abstract sculpture using only toothpicks and glue..
but in my sculpture I need to be able to show "growth"...
i can use geometric and organic shapes, and im out of ideas...
help...?
any ideas...?
A: Growth is typically characterized by something reaching toward the sun or expanding upward and outward. You could make a plant or tree shape with a broad base that narrows toward the top. Add some geometric branching, like a fractal, to make it interesting.
I’ve written articles about aggregate sculpture using paper. I have also reviewed the work of artists that create abstract sculpture with aggregate. You can review the article at

I have done a poem about laughter.. (ask me if you want to see it)
and i need to create a 3D abstract based on the poem..
it must have some sort of relation to the topic of the poem, but not concrete necessarily.
i have to create it with materials i have at home..
how about smiles? open mouth smiles, close moth smiles? or photos of teeth? or a group of people laughing? or try using bright sunny colors that induce the feeling of laughter and fun. and yes i'd love to read your poem!
