Wax sculpture

modern, yet still considered art. I felt relieved to find something I could relate to considered art by an art center. I traveled around until I came to the bronze and stone sculptures. Each sculpture was made in the early 1900’s and I liked their smooth style with either an animal or human subject. The bronze sculpture that took most of my attention was one of a little girl about four-foot-high with 2 scale-like bowls in her hand. Her name was “Bird Girl” and she seemed so mysterious to me…

tie him to the mast of the ship, put wax in his ears, and in their ears. He does this so that he can resist the Sirens. He asks for his men to put wax in their ears so that if he pleads for them to release him, they cannot hear him and can continue with their journey. Also the viewer can see a Siren sitting in front of one of the men that is rowing. She is trying to get his attention and tempt him, but he cannot hear her because Ulysses order his men to put wax in their…

Well today has become my last day working on this project. The sculpture was finally dry enough to actually sand it down. As I was taught by my art teacher Ian, I began sanding the piece with a 220 grit sand paper. Firstly, the edges were sanded down. This was the easiest part and need the least amount of work done. From there I moved the more organic looking sections of the figure. I wanted to make sure that these parts were as smooth as I could possible get them. These parts represent…

Explore the ways that ideas about relationships are developed in Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” and the “The Sonnets”. There are many ways in which Shakespeare presents associations in “The Sonnets” and the scenes from “Romeo and Juliet”. A sonnet consists of 14 lines and is usually wrote in the form of an iambic pentameter. Furthermore, it has 3 quatrains and 1 couplet in the end which is very pithy and full of meaning. However, sometimes it has volta which is change in the theme or ideas.…

to this work. 2. What do you want to know about this artwork or artist? How and where did they acquire art skills and inspiration? 3. Make a list of three questions you would ask the artist about the artwork. How long did it take to learn the lost wax casting technique? How long does it take to make a plaque? How much of a commission did they receive from the Oba? 4. What was your impression of the museum? First, I have to say thank you to my imminent ancestor, Dr. Charles H. Wright for…

them. When it was heard, the seamen of a ship encouraged to end their voyage by destruction. In Homer’s poem “The Odyssey”, Odysseus was warned about the Sirens by Circe, who was the magician. She directed Odysseus to fill the ears of the seamen with wax so that way they did not hear the song. The first thing I noticed about this painting is that it does not have a wide variety of color. It all blends in with each other. The girls on both the right side and the left side are all the same shade…

To say that the ancient Romans thought a lot about funerary ritual and post-mortem commemoration is an understatement. Abundant textual evidence records complex, performative rituals surrounding death and burial in ancient Rome while significant expenditures on elaborate tombs and funerary portraits. The roman funeral was seen as a type of passage that signified the transition between the death and the life of the person. It was extremely important for them to have proper ceremonies and a burial…

to be a gentleman, also expected to be like Paris, who is always kind and caring, and well-dressed all the time. Many looked at Paris as any perfect man that a woman can have in the world, and that he was so perfect he seems to be like a sculpture made from wax. Romeo was hoped to behave with more maturity and to act like Paris who takes great care of even the maids and servants. When a man contains all these qualities, they are considered as an ideal figure that any male desires to be in Verona…

hollow cast bronze statue is just slightly larger than an average wolf, 75 cm tall and 114 cm long. It is made of a mixture of different types of bronze. We know that this particular she wolf was created as one single bronze casting, through the Lost wax casting process, which is odd for the time period, because at the time of its alleged creation, most artists would create pieces using multiple pieces because it was sturdier. Although it was…
