be made of art or sculpture. Janet imagination that transforms with light and wind. “Using unlikely materials from fishnet to atomized water particles, Echelman combines ancient craft with cutting-edge technology to create artworks that have become focal points for urban life on four continents.” (About - Janet Echelman). This project embodies the infusion using art and technology involved together. Janet, herself was surprised by the results of her own creation, art sculpture. First…

flashing everywhere in society. The ideal women figure or man figure, what your should strive to look like from your hair to your toes. Images of the human body represent what a culture or society values in looks and propaganda. One of the first sculptures of the human body found was the Venus of Wilendorf. It was discovered in Austria in 1908 near the village in lower Austria called Krems. The Venus of Wilendorf is an image of a women, its about 4 inches tall with her main features…

be studied by surviving works of art and ancient writings. Elements of Greek and Etruscan art are found in Roman art, indicating that the Romans were highly influenced by these two sources. Roman art comes in various styles, including painting, sculpture, and mosaic. Wall painting is a prime example of ancient Roman art. Artists used the fresco technique of painting on wet plaster. This procedure allowed their painted designs to become permanent on the wall. Natural pigments such as white,…

The ancient Romans adopted their alphabet from the Etruscans, who adopted their alphabet from the Greeks. This alphabet later spread throughout the western world; people today are still using the lett The Romans had a tendency to adopt religions from many cultures that they conquered. The Romans readily adopted the Greek gods into their culture, though they changed their names. For instance, Venus is the goddess of love in Roman culture, but in Greek culture her name is Aphrodite. The Greeks and…

One of these sculptures is the Battle of the Centaurs. The Battle of the Centaurs is a sculpted piece with the Pool of male soldiers, three dimensionally carved into a stone. The images are layered randomly in a very precise way. This sculpture was a stepping stone for Michelangelo’s career as an artist. It really displayed young Michelangelo's talent and it showed his weird interest in the nude of the human body. He also sculpted other works during his teenage years. These sculptures are what…

his famous tomb, the Pyramid of Menkaure. Like the other kings who preceded him, Menkaure had several wives, Khamerernebty II and Rekhter. Like many of the other sculptures that preceded this, the artist used the same canon, having the hands being straight beside the human body and the king standing next to his queen. The canon sculpture and its placid nature of the statue contributes to the idea of the pharaoh representing the king going by the belief that gods possess, or take residence,…

that has attracted millions of visitors is the collection of sculptures from the Parthenon known as the Elgin Marbles. These marbles have been at the centre of debate for years over where they should reside. They are originally from the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, and there is controversy over whether or not the Trustees of the British Museum legally acquired the collection. Lord Elgin’s illegitimate acquisition of the Parthenon sculptures along with the damage caused to the marbles support the…

I love your choice and analysis of Geoffrey C. Smith’s sculpture of a sailfish in Stuart, Florida. But is the sculpture only representative of Stuart? Or could it represent something more? In other words I think that this statue represents not only Stuart perfectly but Florida as a whole. The full round three-dimensional sculpture represents Florida at each angle. It is not only a sculpture that defines Stuart but Florida as a whole. The sailfish in the statue is jumping toward the sky, toward…

create a ripple effect or waves through the screen. For my APS 325 final project, I would like to create a fusion between engineering, science and art as well, through the medium of a dynamic sculpture titled “Fluctus per Auras” which translates to Waves by Wind in Latin. The basis for my kinetic sculpture is that wind cannot be seen but only felt. I wish to use the power of wind to create unique shapes and patterns so that viewers can see wind in a physical shape and form. The wind-activated…

black of the hole. The color contributes to the emphasis drawing eyes to the hole. The form is two dimensional photograph of a three dimensional sculpture. The scale of the photograph itself is smaller than the average human. If a human were to stand on top of the sculpture the human would be bigger. The size of the photograph could be carried but the sculpture could not be…
