Collected Colours

Colour can be used as a powerful element within a work of sculpture. It can help communicate meaning, it can transform our perception of space, and it can unify the surface of a sculpture.

This resource shows you how to create vibrant wall-hung relief sculptures that bring together materials and objects of a single colour. Collecting and finding coloured objects is a fantastic way to begin looking at the world of natural and synthetic colour. It is fascinating to see the variations in tone and intensity of a single colour as you gather your materials and objects together. As you are creating, you might want to think about the associations of your chosen colour and the personal significance it has to you.
