What did we do at school?
In Mrs. McGill’s Art 2 classes at Bethlehem High School, students created wire self-portraits that transform simple lines into expressive 3D forms. Inspired by Alexander Calder, they explored contour, proportion, and facial features while learning how artists can “draw” in space rather than on paper. The project required problem-solving, creativity, and plenty of patience as students carefully manipulated wire to capture their likeness. The result is a collection of unique sculptures that beautifully showcase both their growing technical skills and their individual personalities.
