Sculpture is the art of modeling,
carve and sculpt in clay, stone, wood, metal or other suitable material, representing
volume, figures of people, animals or other objects of nature or subject and
composition wit conceived. Sculpture is also drawn to the work done by a
sculptor. The origin of the sculpture can be explained by considering how
natural is in man the tendency to imitate, by volume, forms of nature and
spontaneous pleasure the human soul experiences in rhythmic combination of line
and mass. This art was created in the course of its history, two kinds of
beauty: imitative and imaginative.
We have a variety of examples of sculpture in La Guardia College
and I chose this particular sculpture for its location. At first glance it seems
that someone wanted hide this sculpture as it is in a corner out of sight of
the students. From a distance I thought it was a big fish on the wall and
viewed from various angles the experience is more real. This sculpture
is made of several elements such as thick cardboard cut into many shapes, paint
of different colors. The cardboard cut is so arranged that gives a three
dimensional effect on the wall. The texture of the sculpture is very strong because
of the dry colors. All elements are arranged to represent the main features of
the 3d fish like the fins, the body, the cheek and eyes. The first thing
that made me remember this sculpture is a television show called wicked tuna where
all participants compete to get a big fish called tuna. It is impressive
as a collection of pieces of cardboard arranged a special way may represent
something special in this case for the artist and for people who have
that passion for art. The artist captured his prize fish a great product of great imagination! perhaps it's in that corner because the person who put it there is allergic to fish but not to art.
