"Gilbert Legend"
His whimsical series of sculptures turn objects we use in our daily lives, such as corkscrews, zippers, faucets and spray bottles, into hilariously lively anthropomorphic characters, some of which seem to personify the object itself simply by using elements of the original object as part of the character design. The assignment was for students to turn their inanimate object into something creative. Students were asked to "trick" the viewer into what they saw, while still being able to see the original inanimate object.

This lesson is a mixture of an innovative sculpture project, set and scene construction, as well as photography. Here is what 7th grade students came up with.
Metal Spoon
Coffee Cup
Chess Pieces
Spray Bottle
Soap Bottles
