PMHS Art Students Create Work Based on Sculptor

Contributed by Patchogue-Medford School District.

Patchogue-Medford High School Studio in Art teacher Deborah McGrath stands with students' Alissa Tylee, Joanna Varricchio, Anthony Scarapelli, Keyshon Glover, Rayvn Mitts, Ryan Conklin, and Alexa Cangro posing in front of the mobiles they created based on the work of Alexander Calder.

Alexander Calder was an American sculptor best known as the originator of the mobile, a type of kinetic sculpture of delicately balanced or suspended components of which move in response to motor power or air currents; by contrast, Calder’s stationary sculptures are called stabiles. He also produced numerous wire figures, notably for a vast miniature circus.
