In historic period, carving is the technique of changing shape of a material which the artist subtracts or cuts away from a solid material to reach the desired form by use of tools such as knives, chisels tipped power cutters, and chainsaws. This kind of Art work, can be time consuming and painstaking method because of the hard and heavy materials, such as stones or other marble that are often used. However, artists also carve from softer substances such as wood and soap depending on recourses and cost. Sculpturing requires innovative or intellectual ideas. I would say that the sculptor could use some attention but keep at it. My favorite piece is the ceramic sculpture; it is the cleanest and most impressive one of the bunch. It is very fascinating how the sculptor applies the perfect technical skills. Sculpturing is about expression, in consideration, as the Form has to have depth as well as width and height; to have a form of three-dimensional, the basis of sculpture, furniture, and decorative arts, dimensional forms can be seen from more than one side, such as this sculpture of the two heads.
The curve of a line can convey energy; soft, shallow curves recall the curves of the human body and often have a pleasing, sensual quality, and a softening effect on the composition. Sharply curved or twisted lines can convey commotion, confusion, and even violence. In this sculpture, the lines of the contorting bodies help convey the intensity. Art sculpture is most fixed subjective connecting with the piece most often than not in profound personal matter, but personal reactions do not make anything better or anything worse. The joining of one form to another may be accomplished in different ways. In much of sculpturing, there...

...ked their materials in ways that make complete natural properties, including color and texture. More recently, however, there has been a growing tendency to use bright artificial coloring as an important element in the design of sculpture. Sculpture is like poetry in that call forth certain feelings, certain emotions that function within our heart. They have something to them, something you cannot describe, and something just outside our vision. To be accurate, the sculpture needs structure and all other elements, but they also need to reach out to us. Therefore, holes, space in sculpture, which are as carefully shaped as the solid forms, and are of equal importance to the overall design are sometimes referred to as negative volumes. Overall, the sculpture is dominated by a series of repeated diagonal lines that move from lower right to upper left and vise versa.
Sculpturing is all about expression, as the image form has depth as well as width and height; three-dimensional display. Deborah's innovative and intellectual ideas are seen in the horse with its pose and energy; alert and ready to react to whatever comes its way. The form is organized to create the image; each branch represents a part of the horse's physique.
Rathnasambhava, the Transcendent Buddha of the South and Madonna Enthroned are very similar images that were produced by very different cultures. Both images were produced during the 13th Century. The image of Rathnasambhava, the Transcendent Buddha of the South was produced in Tibet during an interesting period of the country’s religious history. The branch of Tibetan Buddhism is led by a religious and sometimes political leader called the Dalai Lama. It was during the 13th Century during the reign of Kublai Khan, around the time of the production of this painting, that Tibet experienced the first incarnation of the Dalai Lama. One has to wonder if this painting is somehow related to that occurrence. According to one source, the reincarnation system for the Living Buddhas is the main point distinguishing Tibetan Buddhism from other forms of Buddhism.
This paper will discuss and compare A Faun Teased by Children sculpture, of the Italian Baroque style, and the Little Fourteen Year Old Dancer of the French impressionist style. These two sculptures give us a clear insight and allows us to peer in on the moment that is taking place. The active movement, strong diagonals and dramatic facial expressions of the figures in A Faun Teased by Children tells the on looker a vivid detailed story of the actions that are taking place and what role each figure is taking on, in a mythical scene, while the stagnant and serene pose of the Fourteen Year Old Girl resonates calmness and a moment that has not taken place just yet.
With works in every known medium, from every part of the world, throughout all points in history, exploring the vast collection of the Museum of Modern Art was an overwhelming experience. The objects in the Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts are an important historical collection, reflecting the development of a number of art forms in Western Europe. The department's holdings covered sculpture in many sizes, woodwork and furniture, ceramics and glass, jewelry, and tapestries. The gallery attracted my appreciation of the realistic qualities of the human body often portrayed in sculpture.
One of the most prominent features of the painting is the use of repetition. In the forefront of the picture plane we see a three-pronged pitchfork. That sam...
Though most works of art have some underlying, deeper meaning attached to them, our first impression of their significance comes through our initial visual interpretation. When we first view a painting or a statue or other piece of art, we notice first the visual details – its size, its medium, its color, and its condition, for example – before we begin to ponder its greater significance. Indeed, these visual clues are just as important as any other interpretation or meaning of a work, for they allow us to understand just what that deeper meaning is. The expression on a statue’s face tells us the emotion and message that the artist is trying to convey. Its color, too, can provide clues: darker or lighter colors can play a role in how we judge a piece of art. The type of lines used in a piece can send different messages. A sculpture, for example, may have been carved with hard, rough lines or it may have been carved with smoother, more flowing lines that portray a kind of gentleness.
The definition of sculpting is, according to the Oxford Dictionary of English, “to make or represent a form by carving, casting, or using other shaping techniques”. Though, one could easily argue that in ancient Greek culture, sculpting meant more than just the craft of carving, casting, or shaping. Sculpting was the expression of imagination, an illustration of passions and storytelling, and a means of communication. The early Greek sculptures that we view today are incredibly important to the study and interpretation of history. This is because we are able to analyze these sculptures and theorize why the Greeks sculpted a certain way during certain eras. The different styles of Greek sculpting can be broken down into three separate periods:
...was created with an innovative production method for bronze sculptures. (Lee, p. 57) The advancements in technology could explain the massive differences in size, as well as the level of intricacy in regards to the motifs on both sculptures.
Three dimensional art is defined as media which “occupies space, defined through the dimensions of height, width and depth” (SAYLOR). These art works can be geometric or organic in nature (NORTON). Three dimensional art forms include sculptures, crafts and architecture. Three dimensional art form is fascinating to me because of the amount of realism and beauty it embodies, as well as for its functional and aesthetic value. For this assignment, I chose two beautiful pieces that illustrated the characteristic of three dimensional art and the processes it took to produce them. The first art work I want to analyze is a sculpture done by an Iraqi artist from Kalhu (modern day Nimrud) entitled, “Assurnasirpal II Killing Lions” (Sayre, 420).
Ever since the arrival of the Renaissance, new ways of approaching art physically and emotionally have been introduced by some of the most prominent men of the rebirth and by many lesser known people. The innovators of the Renaissance have brought into the art world many new characteristics and techniques to paintings and sculptures. From experimentation, to observation, to getting in touch with the human body and mind, artists of the time period were able to learn and build upon that knowledge. The information and innovations they contributed sculpted the modern world of creativity for us to learn, use, and develop our own styles for future generations in the light of artistic encouragement.
Henry Moore, one of the key figures in modern sculpture. His works are usually abstraction of human figures, typically depicting female and reclining figures. He received academic art education in his early years, but the truly significant impacts on his original artistic conception are the violent passions, organic forms came from American and African native art. Moore combined the passions of primitive art with modern forms, creates his unique way of expression. Conclusively, he liberate the human figurer from surrealism and cubism conventions, emphasize his sculptures with nature curves and humanism themes. Through a closer look at Moore’s piece, The Reclining figure 1951. This research will further explore moor’s appropriation practices in native art, surrealism, classical order, industrial design, and principles technique. In order to demonstrate Moor’s appropriation as a vehicle for him to communicate with the modern art world and undertakes appropriation to create his expression.
Relief sculpture appeared in many different cultures all throughout time. Relief sculpture can be created and found in many different forms and each culture’s relief consists of distinctive factors. Relief sculpture is different from a more well-known form, known as freestanding sculptures, because relief sculptures remain part of the background, however, they to project from it. Just like freestanding sculptures, relief can be made from carving or casting from many different types of material, such as; wood, ivory, bronze and stone. Relief is also categorized into different categories by how much the subject projects from the background. There are three different categories which include low, middle and high relief. High relief can even project
So based on what have been mentioned above, the link between public sculpture and site specific art is environment. They both need to fit into the environment.
Sculpture is the art of carving or modeling different kind of materials. Those materials include metal, marble, wood, clay, etc. However, marble is the most common material. This material has been chosen by most sculptors for its durability and because it is a material that looks good in sculptures. Marble sculptures are everywhere, since many people usually have marble structures at home for decoration or we can see them in churches, parks, museums, etc. Sculptures are considered three-dimensional art. This type of art requires practice, time, and dedication because it is handmade work and it requires the help of a mallet and chisels of different sizes. Although the sculptures are made of different materials, I am marble and I am about to explain some of my characteristics and some of my history.
Wood carving is not only an ancient form an art, but it also is a type of art that varies from culture to culture. It has also been a way to express your feelings.
