We made our own 2-D version of Robert Indiana's 'Love Sculpture' from Love Park, officially named JFK Plaza, in Center City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The park is nicknamed Love Park for Robert Indiana's Love sculpture which overlooks the plaza.
Indiana's work often consists of bold, simple, iconic images, especially numbers and short words like EAT, HUG, and, his best known example, LOVE.
Indiana's iconic work LOVE was first created for a Christmas card for the Museum of Modern Art in 1964 and later was included on an eight-cent United States Postal Service postage stamp in 1973, the first of their regular series of "love stamps."
This original sculpture is made of COR-TEN steel. The LOVE design has been reproduced in a variety of formats. Likewise, the sculpture has been recreated in multiple versions and a variety of colors, and is now on display around the world.
The "Love" emblem has been adopted by skateboarders and frequently appears in skateboard magazines and videos.
This was the perfect February art project with Valentine's day around the corner!!
Beautiful Job Class!
