  1. Chapter 3 - Lesson 3 Sculpture

  2. Unique Quality of Sculpture • Exists in space • Viewed from all sides • Actual space rather than illusion of space • A sculptor sets out to fill space with original, visually appealing forms. • These forms may echo reality, express powerful emotions, or communicate ideas.

  3. Vocabulary of sculpture • Bas relief • High relief • Sculpture in the round • Modeling • Carving • Casting • Assembly • Kinetic art

  4. Relief Sculpture • Not all sculpture can be viewed from all sides. • Relief sculptures are 3-d forms mounted to a flat surface. • Like paintings these sculptures are designed to be viewed form the front. • Bas relief – the sculptured forms project only slightly from the background • High relief – the sculptured forms extend boldly out into space

  5. Bas Relief- Donatello - Feast of Herod

  6. High Relief – Andrea della Robbia – Madonna & child

  7. Sculpture in the round • Any freestanding work surrounded on all sides by space. • Not all freestanding sculptures are meant to be viewed from all sides.

  8. Processes of Sculpture • Modeling– is a process in which a soft, pliable material is built up and shaped into a sculptural form. Clay Wax or Plaster Sculptor will gradually add more and more material to build a 3-D form, this is known as the additive process

  9. Processes of Sculpture • Carving – is cutting or chipping a form from a given mass of material to create a sculpture. Stone , Wood Removing material in order to create a sculpture is known as the subtractive process. Each type of stone has unique characteristics which create individual challenges and textures.

  10. I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. Michelangelo

  11. Processes of Sculpture • Casting – a melted-down metal or other liquid substance is poured into a mold to harden. • This method allows the artist to duplicate an original sculpture done in wax, clay, plaster or some other material. • Most widely used • for is known as • the “cire-perdu” • or lost wax. Well • over a thousand • years old • method.

  12. Processes of Sculpture • Assembly – The artist gathers and joins together a variety of materials to construct a 3-D work of art. Assemblage is a modern technique usually utilizing found items. Kinetic Art – is a sculptural form that actually moves in space. (both externally and internally.)

  13. Sculpture • No one can predict what the sculptures of the future will look like. In one important way, however, they will be like the ones of past and present: They will continue to record the full range of human experience in ways that are sometimes shocking, sometimes touching, but always thrilling to see, to touch, and to appreciate.
