Sticks and Strawa

I hope this year I have shown you all sorts of items that could be used to create art, well I have another interesting art sculpture.  This time they are made out of sticks and straws.  I thought they were kind of cool.  But I would love to know what you think?


Can you guess this famous person?

    This is pretty neat, looks like they are really good with depth and shadowing. Not sure how they did the first one and no clue who it is but it simple looking and really good.

    They look pretty cool and its colorful. It must take a lot of straws just to make one picture. I would try this out.

    I have no idea who the person in the first picture is, but its pretty cool. You can make art out of anything it seems like, like who thinks of making art out of straws! I would of never thought of putting straws together and making it look like someone. I bet it didnt take to long though, looks pretty easy.

    This is pre cool to look at because of the faces being created in the sticks and straws

    this is really cool! it reminds me of those things youd put your face or hands in and it would keep its shape.

    this is realy cool i like how it is just sticks and straws. I think it would be fun to do something like this for class. I think every one colud do this. If i were to do this project i think i would do a fish.

    the first one is JOHNNY DEPP!!!!!!!! Anyway this is realy cool i never would have guessed you could make art this way out of straws and sticks. I figured you'd just lay them down and make art by connecting a few staws, but stacking them like this is awesome. I most likely couldn't do this because if i had a straw then i'd need something to drink, then something to eat, then i would never do it (kind od like "if you give a mouse a cookie")

    this is pretty neat. it would probably take a long time to get the right place where the sticks and straws should be.

  16. UnknownApril 16, 2013 at 3:34 PM

    These are really cool, but I dont think I would like to do it. It seems like you need alot of patience to do this though. It took way to many straws to make the second one.

    the face drinking a straw is cool because it is a face made out of straws yet it is ironic because it is using a straw.it is like the child tow that pushes out the pins if you put pressure.

  18. Dustin M.April 16, 2013 at 9:27 PM

    I think this is cool because the guy drinking out of a straw is made of straws. I like it because it also creates a more shadow effect. This is very creative and I have done this before.

  19. Travis LeisingerApril 17, 2013 at 12:52 PM

    this would be very hard to do. the whole concept is cool though. the shadowing would be very had to do on a project like this.

    thats awesome. that would take forever to make the straws just the right height to make it work. this would be fun but would take forever to make.

    This kinda of scares me alittle, especially the second picture. But overall this is one unique art. Its amazing how they can make faces and make it so real.

    This type of art are made out of straws. I like how the second picture have a 3D look to it. Someday i would like to try this out.

    this art is not to bad. i think this would be kind of a fun art project but then again it would take some time to get a good project out of that.

    i think this looks very difficult. i wouldnt try it becasue i dont have that much patience. i think if they can make money and have a good time and they think there contributing i say let them go.

    I like the idea of making art out of colored straws. This seems very difficult though and pretty time consuming if you want to do well. I would not enjoy doing this because i would get to frustrated.

  33. jaykob sotoMay 7, 2013 at 7:53 PM

    this would be a cool project on a smaller scale and if we had more time but i like how it can add depressions and indents to almost add shading.

    This is cool, nut would take alot of time. Its cool how they how they added depth for shading.

    Making art out of sticks and straws is a very creative idea, but honestly it doesn't impress me as much as most of the other projects. It would be a fun one to try though.

    The straw art project looks like a fun, and i would like to do that for an art project. Also i think it is a creative project.

  52. Madisyn V.September 3, 2013 at 5:46 PM

    This looks cool but it also looks pretty hard to do because it looks like you would have to be pretty exact with what length you cut the straws depending on how exact you want your picture or object to be.

    ReplyDelete
  53. bugssbunnieSeptember 4, 2013 at 4:37 PM

    i think this art project would be challenging, but fun at the same time. i would have a hard time with getting an even cut on the straws to get them the same length.

  54. UnknownSeptember 4, 2013 at 8:27 PM

    In the top one,i believe that the famous person is Johnny Depp. But, I also think that that project looks kind of boring but also challenging to create. On the other hand, i really like the straw art. I think it is very creative and of course it would be hard to do trying to make each piece the perfect length for the face.

  55. EmilySeptember 5, 2013 at 3:21 PM

    I think this a really cool idea to do, but it would take a lot of time to make. They had to be like exact with the length of their straws. I think this project is very creative because who just thinks of making thing out of straws.

  62. UnknownApril 28, 2014 at 8:31 AM

    These are really cool. I think that the one with the sticks is better. The darker sticks shade it a lot better. The straws are more random, but it is really cool how they use different lengths of straws to shade

    ReplyDelete
  63. UnknownApril 30, 2014 at 6:51 AM

    This is sweet. That would take forever and take a lot of straws. It is also a cool idea how they did this.

    I bet that the same project can be done using the veggie straws too, then it would be edible. I think this is really creative and fun. It would look great next to a pop machine. It seems pretty simple to do, but it looks really neat!
