Study Notes
- Midterm Reviewer Content includes Sculpture (as an art, development, and criticism), notable architectural styles, and an overview of photography
Sculpture as an Art
- Sculpture originated from the Latin word "sculpere," meaning "to carve"
- Sculpture is a three-dimensional (or tridimensional) art form that is made to stand out in space
- Sculpture involves shaping a single block or mass of material
- Sculpture mostly deals with the physical demands of hard or tangible materials
- Examples include: THE VICTOR at PASIG, MOA GLOBE, TIME SCULPTURE (12 meters) at SM Megamall by Jefre Figueras Manuel, FUNKO POP, LABUBU, CLAY, and GUNDAM
Purpose of Sculpture by Henry Moore
- Truthfulness to the material involves using the individual qualities of the material
- For example, stone should be hard and concentrated
- Stone should not be falsified to look like soft flesh
- Full tridimensional realization means the sculptor should always strive for complete sculptural expression in its full spatial reality
- Observation of natural objects serves to enlarge the artist's form-knowledge
- Combination of vision and expression requires a sculptor to combine the abstract principles of sculpture with the realization of an idea
- Achievement of vitality of expression occurs while beauty aims at pleasing the senses; power of expression is about spiritual vitality
Types of Sculpture
- Freestanding or Round sculpture is meant to be seen from all sides (front, rear, left, and right)
- Freestanding sculpture normally has base that supports the weight of the figure
- The base also serves as a platform on which to stand
- Almost all round sculptures are static, but they are capable of "moving"
- Relief sculpture is only partly enclosed by space
- It protrudes from a flat surface but cannot stand on its own because it is attached
- Relief sculptures are static and "incapable of moving"
High Relief
- High relief is almost the same as a free-standing sculpture
- Differs in that it is attached, so the back part cannot be seen by an onlooker
- The front, left, and right sides can be viewed
Low Relief or Bas Relief
- Low relief is almost the same as painting, but differs from painting because it has volume
