HUM 101 Arts Appreciatio Jacques Axid n A. Rosello, MSDC Sculpture  Learning Objectives 1. Discuss the origin of the sculpture. 2. Recognize the importance of sculpture. 3. Validate knowledge about the type, medium, and technique of sculpture. 4. Display an ability to make sculptures. SCULPTURE The sculpture is derived from the Latin “sculpere” meaning “to carve.” It is one of the oldest art forms. In sculpture, cutting, casting, modeling, or combining materials creates a three- dimensional mass in the space differently from painting. SCULPTURE It is the most well-known of all the genres and superb kinds of fine art and good depictions of humanity. For long years the artwork represented societies like morality, politics, and religion. SCULPTURE In human life, the sculpture has played a variety of roles. The first sculpture was created to provide magical assistance to trackers, depict gods, and enable their old kings to become immortal. SCULPTURE The most common purpose of sculpture in ancient times was associated with religion. Different images like human- made objects revered for the spirits are familiar in many cultures. Importance of Sculpture SCULPTURE The sculpture is regarded as the oldest art. It represented a three-dimensional regeneration of reality. It aims to exemplify a concept by generating a visual equivalent as a spectacular piece of art. SCULPTURE In general, the major topics are the human body and animals. The material is the most important consideration when choosing a sculpture theme. SCULPTURE The most popular applications in construction are clay, metal, ivory, and a range of other materials. SCULPTURE The sculpture reflects their religious personal, and political ideals. This work evokes patriotism, pride, grandeur, and spiritual admiration. SCULPTURE Many statues, miniatures, and sculptures are displayed in museums and throughout art history. It can also be a good art investment in the long run. Types of Sculpture BUST Sculpted and painted in the upper part of the human figure, such as the head, neck, shoulders, chest, or breast. STATUE A life-size or larger size o sculpture of a person or an animal made of metal, stone, or wood. ARCHITECTURA L universal classification is used to The describe a structural design such as buildings, bridges, burial chambers, and other big projects. It's a material brand that includes carved stones like brownstone, cast iron, machine-pressed sheet zinc, terra cotta, concrete, and other architectural materials. RELIEF It comes from the Latin verb levo, which means “to raise.” In creating a relief, you must affirm that the sculpted materials have been raised above the canvas. This type of sculpture is projected into three-dimensional space. RELIEF The back of the relief is not meant to be seen, and the entire design can be understood from a frontal view. There are three types of relief, namely: HIGH RELIEF These reliefs are dramatically raised from the background and are sometimes nearly sculpted in the round. SUNKEN RELIEF Also known as incised or intaglio relief. It is made by having an image carved below the sculpture's surface. BAS RELIEF Also referred to as low relief. It is characterized by figures only slightly raised from the surface to the background. Medium and Techniques in Sculpture Medium and Techniques in Sculpture Sculpture approaches aim to provide practical and technical assistance through various procedures. In doing sculpture, we have limitless mediums and techniques to use. Major Processes in Sculpture Major Processes in Sculpture 1. Subtractive processes – it is the procedure for removing undesired elements. Carvings in stone and wood are one example of this. Major Processes in Sculpture 2. Additive processes – occur when the final product is created by combining tiny pieces of the substance. When metals are welded together, clays are mixed to create the desired figure. Techniques in Sculpture Techniques in Sculpture 1. Carving – is a procedure of cutting away objects until the desired design is formed or achieved. Tools depend on the materials to be carved and the statue to which the work has progressed. Carving has two types, such as: Techniques in Sculpture a. Stone carving - requires patience and planning. It shapes pieces of rough natural stone using essential hand tools like a hammer and chisel. Techniques in Sculpture b. Wood carving - is the skill of employing cutting tools to shape wood items. It’s done with a carving knife (for cutting and smoothing the wood), a slicer saw (for cutting out chunks of wood), a chisel (for lines and cleaning up flat surfaces), and a gouge (used in carving hollows, rounds, and sweeping curves). Techniques in Sculpture 2. Casting – it is a method by which a liquid material is usually poured into a hollow cavity of the desired shape and then frame or pattern, which is allowed to harden. It has two types, namely: Techniques in Sculpture a. Glass casting - it is a modeling activity of pieces of rough natural stone using essential hand tools like a hammer and chisel. b. Slip casting - it is a technique for the mass production of pottery, especially for shapes not easily made on a wheel. Techniques in Sculpture 3. Molding – it is an additive process. It is in soft or plastic materials (such as clay and wax) by hand to build up or shape to create a form. Techniques in Sculpture 4. Assemblage – it is also known as putting together. It is the process of gathering and combining various components to form a finished piece of art. Techniques in Sculpture An example of assemblage is Martin Puryear's stainless steel tube network is welded and sandblasted, whose connections are held together by silver and patented bronze strands. Some of these items are trash found on the street. Medium in Sculpture Medium in Sculpture 1. Wood – hardwoods such as Narra, Molave, Kamagong, and bamboo are carved using the reductive process. 2. Stone – it is the most prevalent material used in sculpture. Adobe, for example, is a tough and long- lasting material. Medium in Sculpture 3. Marble – is a hard limestone with a smooth and veined texture that evokes elegance and is commonly used for ornamentation and sculptures in classical art. 4. Semi-precious stones – examples are jade and crystals. Medium in Sculpture 5. Ceramics – is a type of clay used in the art of pottery production. 6. Terracotta - figurines made by hand from baked clay that has been fired at a low temperature. Medium in Sculpture 7. Metal – is a strong material that is hammered into shape after being heated. Bronze is a popular material for sculpting. Basic Sculpture Terms Medium in Sculpture 1. Armature – is a skeleton-like framework used to support the building of paper maché, usually made of stiff wire. 2. Base – it’s the portion of the work where the sculpture rests. Medium in Sculpture 3. Craftsmanship – is a skill with which one uses tools and materials to produce art. 4. Plaster of Paris – a fine white powder that sets hard when mixed in the water. Medium in Sculpture 5. Freestanding sculpture – is a type of monumental sculpture in the round. It’s a technique used when a sculpture is meant to be viewed from all angles. 6. Manipulation – is the process of shaping an object by a skilled worker. Medium in Sculpture 7. Replica – it refers to the precise reproduction of an artwork. 8. Kinetic and Mobile are three- dimensional figures that move. The finest examples are suspended in the air and move, such as the good luck signs we place on our doors. Thank you!
