This weekend afternoon was spent by kids at the local Louisville Public Library, exploring and re-creating the art of Alexander Calder. "Sandy", the name he was known by, was an American artist in the late 1800's who 'made sculptures move'. His sculptures were made from metal wires and he was passionate about making metal wire mobiles.
The program host started by reading a story about Mr. Calder and then the kids were given pipe cleaners, papers, scissors and sponges to incite their imagination.
