The Contemporary Kids program presents artist, Makiko Maekawa, who will showcase how kids can make a sculpture using wire and base. Wire sculpture allows them to explore line and space in 3 dimensions. There will be easily malleable wire, beads, buttons and other colorful objects to add color. Explore outdoors around the Contemporary and look for interesting objects that can be incorporated to the sculpture. Let the creativity flow through the wire.
