Do you know the difference between geometric shapes, regular shapes, and irregular shapes?  (Hint: use the guide below.)

We began by investigating one of the largest sculptures in the Nasher's collection: My Curves Are Not Mad by Richard Serra.

Last, we stood next to My Curves Are Not Mad and talked about how it felt to walk through and stand next to this 14-foot tall, 44-foot long steel sculpture.  How do you think it would feel?
