  1. Sculpture

  2. Sculpture • Sculptures are always 3-Dimensional • There are many different types of sculptures, most common are made out of: clay, wire, and bronze. • Clay sculptures you can add and model to it, unlike wire and bronze which you can only take away or carve.

  3. Sculptures are created in four basic ways: • Carving • Modeling • Casting • Construction

  4. Carving: • Subtractive process: material is removed • Mainly wood and stone (marble) • Modeling: • Additive process: material is added • Clay, wax, plaster, paper-mache

  5. Casting: a mold is used to form molten bronze(or other material) into a desired shape. • Construction: welding, gluing, nailing materials together.

  6. Contemporary Methods • Assemblage: Assembling found objects in unique ways. Found objects change the context of a sculpture and can make a statement. • Kinetic Sculpture: Movable parts

  7. Sculptural Art Elements • Mass (literal) • Line & Form: open & closed • Space / Negative space • Color • Texture

  8. Many sculptures use different starting points. • Many artists use some sort of inspiration for their work. (ex: love of nature, different form, and movement of objects. Deer hounds made from hay, mud and graphite.

  9. Sally Matthews • Sally Matthew uses natural materials such as fiber, steel, copper, wood. • Her pieces usually have texture and color, and no surface has to be added. 3 Ponies made from steel. 3 Ponies made from felted sheep wool.

  10. Serena de la Hey • Serena de la Hey uses willow in sculptures. • She is best known for the Willow Man, a 12 foot sculpture in Somerset, UK. Willow man 2001 Metaphors - 1993

  11. Robert Smithson • Robert Smithson was one of the founders of the art form known as land art, and is most well known for the Sprial Jetty, located in the Great Salt Lake, Utah. • Land art takes using natural materials to it’s extreme. Materials such as rocks sticks, soil, plants and so on are often used, and the works frequently exist in the open and are left to change and erode under natural conditions. Spiral Jetty

  12. Henry Moore • Henry Moore’s sculptures were abstract. • Which means that his sculptures often showed his ideas and feelings, rather than a clear figure or object. • His sculptures were often smooth, included empty hollows and were often carved out of stone or wood. The arch (1969) is made out of bronze.

  13. ALEXANDER CALDER • Alex began by developing a new method of sculpting: by bending and twisting wire, he essentially "drew" three-dimensional figures in space. • He is renowned for the invention of the mobile, whose suspended, abstract elements move and balance while creating harmony.
