For this project we were assigned to create a piece of art inspired by something from the N
or t h Car olina art museum's gallery. Sadie was doing art with string and b racelets and I thought that was pretty cool so I decided to take part in the creati on. The art from the mus e um that inspired this was called Beaded Crown (Adé), a crown cr ea ted from cloth and thread. I really like the feel of this crown, it feels very historic and looks like it has a history of it's own. I prefer this type of art over modern art some times and the art piece really spoke to me. This crown inspired the use of the string, thread, and beads to create an original piece. I mainly made only bracelets for this project, but after all the bracelets were made they were put on a frame.In the last picture below is one of the bracelets in progress as well as the type of string it was made out of. The center picture is of the bracelets beginning to be stapled onto the frame. This is a very colorful piece of art that used various types and thicknesses of string to complete.
This is the final piece, all of the bracelets have been stapled onto the frame and Mr. Sands gave it proper lighting to look professional
