                                                        sculpture in school

        The sculpture I looked at was a head and an arm. The basic material used to make it was plastic but the main support was given with the walls and the frame. The method used was relief, reductive, wall sculpture, perciat figure.  The style of the artwork is representational. And the color of the sculpture matches with the wall. Although a different color would have given it a more real feel but the completely colorless sculpture still had many amazing details although I thought it was handmade but I am not sure. However, the detailing on the face and arm and eyes of the sculpture was done beautifully.

          Sculptures are a pre historic way of making art, it’s a really old kind of tradition to get self-portraits made and all. Sculptures come from a similar category. E.g. Venus of the willendorf is an old sculpture and is an 11.1 cm high statue of a woman. It is estimated to be made around 25000- 26000 BC. Other than this if we look into to Egyptian history we will find “the sphinx of Giza” as well and many other statues and sculptures.

           

Similarly, now we have modern contemporary art which includes sculptures etc. these are mostly seen in a commercial place for sight-seeing. Or in homes or schools as environmental art which is connecting art to the environment. For example, the sculpture that I saw is in the school so its modern contemporary art as well as environmental art.
