He was fascinated by human form and that reflected in his artwork. The sculpture looks so realistic and contains a lot of details. The materials that he used to make his sculptures are silicon, resin, calcium carbonate, and human or animals hair. Sam’s work is realism and it comes from his experience and most of these experiences are connected to the moment they happened. Jims said, “I just create things based on the way I feel at a time, and while it may mean something to me, I find that people take their own interpretations”.

    I believe that he embodies something different then all of the other artists I have studied thus far. As I was searching through the various pictures on the internet of his sculptures, I was truly stunned at how life-like they look. With each sculpture I looked at I took on a different set of emotion every time. When looking at the dead body one I instantly felt sad, disturbed, and a little dark and twisted. When I looked at “Ghost” I felt her pain and insecurity as it is written all over her face.…

    The sculpture Triad of King Mycerinus and Two Goddesses, which resides at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, was excavated from The Temple of Mycerinus in Giza and was created between 2548 - 2530 BCE, during the reign of Mycerinus. Made from greywacke, an incredibly coarse, dark sandstone, this sculpture uses variation in texture, incorrect scale, and line to draw attention to King Mycerinus in relation to the two divinities, and thus is an example of royalty as divinity. Overall, this sculpture depicts the goddess of the Hare Nome, the goddess Hathor, and the King Mycerinus (in that order from left to right), all carved from a single block of greywacke. Additionally, this is an example of a high relief sculpture, meaning that the sculpture is…

    While attending the Telfair Academy on October 17, I saw a variety of unique scenes. The first scene that caught my attention was the frieze on the upper part of the ceiling that was originally on the outer wall of the Greek High Classical Parthenon.

I also noticed how the frieze showed many different scenes that occurred in the Parthenon with Poseidon riding in on horses. Also what look to be soldiers riding on horses and Greeks walking cattle with a cloth on their back.…

    All famous painters have one thing in common; an element makes the painting come alive. Whether it is a pose, a color, lighting, or brush stroke, without it the painting is dull and uninteresting. The author likens compassion as that element in healing. “To be compassionate is to be moved in our guts, to mysteriously experience another's pain.” (p. 197) Murren says the church may be a poor place for addicts and hurting people to seek help.…

    What is a sculpture? The question popped up while I was reading. Even the author mentions Stonehenge, the Nazca lines, the Toltec ballcourts, Indian burial mounds. The author made a statement “sculpture has its own internal logic, its own set of rules, which, though they can be applied to a variety of situations, are not themselves open to very much change. The logic of sculpture, it would seem, is inseparable from the logic of the monument.”…

    This piece of art that I have researched, will be writing about, and comparing to other pieces of art is the Jain Shrine. The country of origin that these shrines come from is India. Unfortunately we do not know of the artist that created any of the Jain Shrine’s in particular that are still preserved today. It is suggested that more than likely a wealthy individual from northwest India would have had this small shrine created for his own private Jainism religion purposes.
