Hanging Mobile

Hanging mobiles can brighten any room and can be as simple or complex as you want them to be! This project is an example of the many ways in which art can transform everyday items into objects of wonder. Artist Alexander Colder is infamous for his hanging mobiles. You can take a look at his work here. Want to know a little bit more about Colder and just how he made these mobiles? Watch this informative video by Kahn Academy here.
