Study Notes
Sculpture Techniques
- Modeling is an additive process, unlike carving, where materials are added to build up a form.
- Carving involves removing material to reveal a shape from a block of stone, wood, or other hard material.
- Casting involves pouring a liquid material into a mold to create a shape that solidifies.
- Assemblage utilizes found objects to create three-dimensional art pieces. This can create a wide range of emotional responses from the viewer.
Sculpture Types and Styles
- Monolithic sculpture is a single, solid piece of stone that is limited by the natural shape and size of the stone.
- Constructivism is a movement using combined mechanical objects to form abstract, mobile sculptures.
- Found objects (e.g., metal like wire, pipe, sheet) are combined using welding, typically in one color and texture.
- Kinetics sculpture is a form of sculpture that incorporates mechanical movement. Some kinetic sculptures produce sound when moving parts collide or interact with their surroundings.
Sculpture Location and Context
- Grotto is a recessed area in a wall that can house sculpture.
- Niches are not associated with walls, but instead relate to inner spaces of natural caves or vaults.
