this talks about the history and some examples of arts of which is useful as PowerPoint for teachers and students. our goal is to share our resources for students so that they will excel in their subjects this may also serve as a tool for teachers to make their lesson plan easier and creative
2. History of Sculpture
The earliest known works of sculpture date from around 32,000 B.C.
Ancient peoples also created small animal and human figures carved in bone, ivory,
or stone for possible spiritual or religious purposes.
From the Latin sculpture "to carve," sculpture often is carved out of a block of
wood, stone, or other material.
Western tradition of sculpture began in Ancient Greece (800BC - 600AD), where
sculptors began to move away from creating purely spiritual items to capture the
human body in metal and stone.
Auguste Rodin is one of the more famous of the sculptors of the time, and is
considered the father of modern sculpture.
4. WHAT IS SCULPTURE?
Sculpture make or represent (a form) by carving, casting, or other shaping techniques.
Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions .
The three (3) traditional methods of sculpture-making are modeling, carving, or joining.
To make a sculpture, you need to use formal elements such as space, shape,
form, tone, texture, and color.
Modeling: Modeled sculptures are created when a soft or malleable material (such as
clay) is built up (sometimes over an armature) and shaped to create a form. Modeling is
an additive process.
6. Carving Sculpture
Carving is the act of using tools
to shape something from a
material by scraping away
portions of that material.
It involves cutting or chipping
away a shape from a mass of
stone, wood, or other hard
material.
A subtractive process whereby
material is systematically
eliminated from the outside in.
8. Joining Sculpture
A technique in wood sculpture in
which parts of a figure are roughly
carved separately, then joined
together and finished.
9. Types Of Sculpture
1. Relief-this kind of sculpture does not have flat horizon base and the form is
projected from a flat surface. There are two types of relief:low relief or bas-relief, and
high relief. The form of a low relief projects slightly from the flat surface, in contrast
to the high relief.
2. Assemblage-this sculpture is formed by putting together materials such as objects,
pieces of paper, sponges, wood scraps, and other materials.
10. Types Of Sculpture
3. Welded Sculpture-creating these sculptures involve
the process of connecting sheets of metal together
by using an acetylene or electric torch.
4. Kinetic Sculpture-any medium that contains movement
perceivable by the viewer or that depends on motion for its effect.
A mobile is said to be the simplest form of kinetic sculpture.
5. Freestanding-this kind of sculpture that can independently
stand in space. It has a flat horizontal base. All its sides
contribute to the over-all form of the sculpture.
