Sculpture


Sculpture is any three-dimensional form created as an artistic expression. Sculpture is primarily concerned with space: occupying it, relating to it, and influencing the perception of it. The term also refers to the artistic discipline, act or art of making sculpture: changing one or more of the physical or contextual attributes of an object, such as its mass, colour, texture, context, location, form, scale, implication, association, temperature or smell. Much contemporary sculpture transmits expression through arrangement and juxtaposition or by the simple designation of an object or even an act as sculpture. The artist who sculpts is called a ''sculptor''. A ''sculpted'' object or material has been worked to resemble sculpture either by human hands or by nature. A figure or person can be described as ''sculpturesque'' if it shares qualities with classical figurative sculpture or statue.

    Aren't mobile sculptures called kinetic sculptures?--BlackGriffen ---- Added mention of Joan Miro's proposal of gas sculpture. Daniel C. Boyer The Duomo picture doesn't belong on this page. - snoyes 21:42, 29 Jan 2004 (UTC)

    alterations to sculpture wiki

    Hello I have just edited the scuplture page because the definition seemed a bit amateur. I hope it meets with everyones approval. I have removed the reference to a dubious term 'sculpting' In 25 years as a sculptor I have only ever heard it used by people who dont know anything about sculpture - the same ones who call me a sculpture (meaning sculptor). I am fairly new to wiki and am not sure if my use of bold tags is good form - I havent time just now to search the form documents, but will asap. if they need correcting please feel free... I have also fleshed out -so to speak - the section on nudes It wasn't really saying anything. i hope i have managed to represent the previous contributors meaning. I am currently writing a book on sculpture as a process. if its ok with you I will come back and add content to this section when I write anything broad enough for inclusion. thank you David

    me again

    After writingthe above post about changing the sculpture page i thought it would be better if i registered. added this so that you can see my username and contact. DavidP 18:33, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

    Scuplture of the United States

    Just a notice for all of you sculpture-heads that Wikipedia is in need of a Sculpture of the United States page. 72.1.206.21 14:25, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

    Gas Sculpture


    Gas sculpture is a proposal made by Joan Miró in his late writings to make sculpture out of gaseous materials. Some sourceshttp://www.chlive.org/home/nemerofsky/perodictable/pb.htm have alleged that lead can be used for gas sculpture. True gas sculpture is to be differentiated from the supposed "gas sculpture" at the Universe Zone at the American Museum of Natural History, which is not truly a gas sculpture. There is an example of gas sculpture in the sculpture garden at the Australian National Gallery in Canberra. A large bank of very small nozzles is arrayed on the edge of a small rush-filled pond, and when the power is switched on a fine mist of fog billows out. The 'sculpture' has a continuously changing shape as it is affected by the water, the rushes and the air-currents in the area. Some kinetic sculptures contain gaseous elements, such as the fog nozzles of Jean-Paul Riopelle's ''La Joute'', which also includes fire jets, a fountain, and bronze sculptural elements.

    Gas Sculpture


    This article looks like a similar sort of thing to Four dimensional painting - if this is all there is to say about it, I don't think it should be an article at all. If Miro is the only artist to have proposed/written about this, then the info should really be in the Miro page, IMO. It's silly to have articles about every idea every person ever has, especially if there's nothing to be said about them beyond "Person X had idea Y". --Camembert :These should both be on the Miro page where they have some context and don't just seem like hot air (little art joke there). Ortolan88 ::With the recent update this page might be worth keeping as separate. --141.219.41.163 19:57 Jan 27, 2003 (UTC) This page is definitely worth keeping if someone could add why the, "supposed 'gas sculpture' at the Universe Zone at the American Museum of Natural History," "is not truly a gas sculpture."-Hyacinth Why is Peter Willberger being trashed like this? Is he just a liar? It doesn't sound that hard to make a gas sculpture, just shoot some air through some liquid. I've done it with a straw and a coke thousands of times. --Anon : I removed that statement. Google test did not turn up much on that guy. --Menchi 00:15, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

    Kinetic Sculpture


    Kinetic sculptures are sculptures that move, ideally with a minumum of applied force. Mobiles are a type of kinetic sculpture. Many others are wind-powered. Kinetic sculptures are often implemeted as installation art. By definition sound sculpture is kinetic sculpture. Kinetic sculpture was pioneered by Alexander Calder (inventor of the mobile) and George Rickey. Other leading exponents include Yaacov Agam, Marcel Duchamp, Naum Gabo, Jean Tinguely, Zero group and Arthur Ganson.

  • http://www.kineticus.com/ Kineticus is devoted to the subject of kinetic art. The website gets permanently updated by its members, galleries, curators and guests and therefore is a great platform and opportunity. It was founded by the kinetic artist http://www.kineticart.de/ Bernward Frank In addition the term is applied to a variety of human powered craft that are involved in cross country races and parades. Examples may be found at http://www.kineticsculpturerace.org Category:Sculpture de:Kinetische Kunst nl:Kinetische kunst

    Marble Sculpture


    Marble sculpture is the art of creating three dimensional forms from marble. Sculpture is among the oldest of the arts. Even before painting cave walls, early humans fashioned shapes from stone. From these beginnings, artifacts have evolved to their current complexity. The point at which they became art is for the beholder to decide. In any case, sculptures rank among the greatest of human achievements.

    Tools

    The Italian terms for the tools of sculpture are given here, and where possible the English terms have been included.
  • La Mazza - The mallet. This is used to strike the chisel.
  • Gli Scalpelli - The chisels. These come in various types:
  • *La Subbia - a pointed chisel or punch
  • *L'Unghietto - Literally, "little fingernail"
  • *La Gradina - a chisel with multiple teeth
  • *Lo Scalpello - a flat chisel
  • Lo Scapezzatore - a hefty chisel with a broad blunt edge, for splitting.
  • Il Martello Pneumatico - Air hammer
  • Il Flessibile - an angle grinder, fitted with an electrolysis-applied diamond studded blade
  • Hand Drill

    Technique

    Hammer and point work is the technique used in working stone, in use since Pygmalion. It consists of holding the pointed chisel against the stone and swinging the hammer at it as hard as possible. When the hammer connects with the striking end of the chisel, its energy is transferred down the length and concentrates on a single point on the surface of the block, breaking the stone. This is continued in a line following the desired contour. It may sound simple but many months are required to attain competency. A good stone worker can maintain a rhythm of relatively longer blows (about one per second), swinging the hammer in a wider arc, lifting the chisel between blows to flick out any chips that remain in the way, and repositioning it for the next blow. This way, one can drive the point deeper into the stone and remove more material at a time. Some stoneworkers also spin the subbia
