In this lesson for Year Sevens, students explore the concept of “ready-made” sculpture, a term coined by Marcel Duchamp to describe art created from everyday manufactured objects. The lesson emphasizes the significance of recycled materials in art-making for environmental benefits and includes examples like Ai Weiwei’s “Grapes” and Bruce Gray’s motorcycle sculpture. Students are encouraged to reflect on what constitutes art and where it can be encountered, while learning about Duchamp’s influence on the Dada movement with works like his bicycle wheel mounted on a stool.
