This construction was made from found objects — old pipes, bits of metal, and automobile parts. Artist Richard Hunt discovered these materials in junkyards and on the street.

Make a sculpture of your own with objects from around your house.

Steps:

1. Spend a few days searching your home and neighborhood and collecting natural and man-made materials, such as leaves, branches, and broken toys. Be sure to ask for permission to take objects that are not yours! Fill a grocery bag with these materials until you have a good collection.
   
   
2. With adult supervision, construct a sculpture from these objects using a glue gun or tape. Think about how you can use your materials to make a human, abstract, or machine-like form. If your construction cannot stand on its own, glue it to a cardboard or wood support.
   
   
3. If you’d like, paint the final sculpture to give it a patina like cast sculpture.
