Carving

statue that was discovered in Austria in 1908 by archeologist Josef Szombathy. The statue is an intricate carving of a large woman, who’s hands are resting atop her large breasts, and with her pubic region exposed. She does not have a face, instead a multitude of small balls have been carved into her head region, giving her a sort of anonymity. It is believed to be one of the oldest carvings in the world, dating back to around 24,000 BC. There is a large amount of mystery in this sculpture, such…

The Baths of caracalla was named after the emperor Caracalla. His father Septimius Severus commissioned the baths and after his death the project was completed by his son Caracalla. These baths could have held up to 1600 bathers who were free to reposition from one pool to the other at their leisure.The Baths of Caracalla like all bathhouses in ancient Rome included three fundamental bathing rooms. The second thing that contributed to the fall of rome was a new religion. The new religion is…

Each type of medium used for reproducing copies seemingly has its own set of rules making it possible to guess at the carving methods by the appearance the finished work. This also makes it possible to distinguish techniques used particularly for replication, and more explicitly to those applied to marble. According to recent studies, which tend to incorporate the perspective…

The Four Yoginis, created in 800CE, is a sculpture that hails from Uttar Pradesh, India. At first sight this work appears to be rather commonplace and plain. There isn’t much about this piece that calls the viewers attention. There are no colors painted to the surface, which is a plain stone. This sculpture seems to have some religious connotation. Religion seems a likely explanation as Indian culture promotes a polytheistic culture. This ideal is readily seen in this work, made apparent by the…

A sculpture that tends to stick out to me is Capture of the Sabine Women by Giambologna. This particular sculpture is classified as sculpture in the round. It requires the viewer to walk around it to view its entirety. This beautiful work of art was hand carved by the artist, Giambologna. I think, by making the sculpture in the round, it makes the viewer really look closely at the whole sculpture, instead of just glancing at it. The artist shows great precision and expertise by making all three…

pebble also from my backyard, the reason I chose this was because it was the closest material I found that resembled an obsidian flake/core. I cut the pebble down by hitting it with a larger rock, which caused it to flake, creating a perfect piece for carving. Following the creation of the flake, I began my process of copying down the glyphs from the original image of the small Santiago. This took around an hour to do but it was stopped due to the flake I was using going blunt. This made it…

‘Red Redding’. The major moments where hope was developed was scenes with music, specifically the scene of the warden’s office and the record player. Hope is also portrayed when Andy is given the pickaxe in relation to the scene in Andy’s cell when carving his name into the wall. Towards the conclusion of the film Red begins to have a glimmer of hope when given a harmonica as the music released…
