Kinetic art, commonly known as the mobile, can be as simple or complex as you would like to make it. Most of us are aware of mobiles that entertain babies and some of us remember creating solar systems with Styrofoam balls and wire. Today's kinetic art sculptures are far cry from Styrofoam and coat hangers. Know the basics, and you can create a masterpiece uniquely your own. Read on to learn how to make a mobile.
Instructions
- 1
Thread a thin wire or fishing line through the center of a wooden dowel.
2Hang art pieces of equal weight on either side of the dowel, adjusting so that the dowel hangs relatively straight. This creates the basic structure of a mobile.
3Apply more weight to one side than the other to create a unique design, keeping the dowel straight by adjusting the placement of the two art pieces.
4Vary the placement of the wire or thread along the length of the dowel to accommodate art pieces of differing weights. Place the wire closer to the end that carries more weight.
5Build upon this basic kinetic design by adding more dowels and or art pieces as weights until you are satisfied with the final outcome, making a mobile with variable levels and multiple art objects.
6Decorate your weights and dowels in any manner of your choosing.
