There were no leaves, no fruit just the dead frame. So, while it does copy nature, it does not seem to accurately portray nature's beauty, but rather its complexity and weakness.
I almost missed the mirror sculpture because it blends so perfectly into the park. The stainless steel is polished to a mirror finish and placed in a garden, so all you really see is the garden. The only way that the sculpture caught my eye was the reflection of the sun.

Richard Serra's plate sculpture attracted the most attention from children so far. The children enjoyed running between the plates and peeking out from behind. It was a great reminder that art is meant to be experienced, not just viewed. The plates were so enormous compared with the children that it also gave a great reference for the immensity of the sculpture.

As I kept walking I encountered another bench statue.…...

oman art was oriented towards realistic depiction of the features, copying exactly the physiognomy, without embellishing the emperor with perfect god-like features in order to make him appear divine, instead of human.
The sculpture displays features that were obviously faithful to the real model: the thin lips, the peculiar shape of the nose, the expression lines across his forehead and around his eyes, revealing age and concern of a man that has too many responsibilities over his head. But his collected and cold eyes reveal intelligence and determination, a strong personality displayed in the authoritarian look on his face. This is where the portrait flexes reality, since Claudius was a rather vulnerable character of the oman government. However it would not fit to display his weakness in the portrait that should picture him as a proud emperor and a great leader. Some representations of Claudius often show him dressed in…...

This is one of the reasons why it is difficult to differentiate when the actual oman work first emerged that stood on its own apart from the Etruscan works. It is also true that the time periods overlapped, and something is only known as oman because it is consists of specific oman items such togas.
Both the Etruscan and the oman bronzes had very fine detail in the folds of the clothes, the curves of the muscles and the body, the lines in the face and the turns in the beard. One can definitely see the impact of the Greek artisan on both these cultures.

However, one of the things that does distinguish the Etruscan from the oman bronzes is the latter's greater emphasis on the political leaders, especially the emperors. In fact, many of the statues are so refined that they appear godlike in their superhuman form. An aspect of…...

Horse and Rider
The statuary which is called "Female Horse and Rider" depicts an Asian woman atop a brown horse. It is a piece of art that is made from clay. There was little technological advancement such as kilns from the period, so it is likely that this piece was made from a type of clay which can be dried through the natural air. The woman wears a large, oversized brown hat which is nearly the size of her head itself. It has a large brim which would have shielded her pale skin from the dangers of the sun. This woman has extremely pale skin which shows her ethnicity and the fact that this is very likely her normal clothing type. Besides the hat, the woman has on what looks to be a yellow blouse, but may be orange. It is difficult to tell if the color differences are intentional or…...

Surname Statue from the Nabu TempleThe art is an image of the Nabu Statue located at Khorsabad Courtroom at the doorway to the temple of Nabu. Nabu, also referred to as the Tatu, was a Babylonian god of Wisdom, prophecy, writing, and scribes. The name Nabu means Announcer that referred to his creative and prophetic powers to invite forth a vision of predictions, harvest, and plant life. (Ornan, 2005)However, considering various formal elements of the sculpture, the statue has numerous vertical and rough lines along the shoulder and the arms. Some of the lines extend through the neck. While at the head, there exists a solid diagonal line as well. Lines along the shoulder and arms are continuous, while those found at the neck and the head are broken. Subsequently, the implied lines lead towards the eye, dropping down to the hands holding vesselthe use of vertical lines here signifying…...

Two of the most notable examples of prehistoric art, the Woman of Willendorf and the cave paintings at Lascaux, have the power to inspire awe and stimulate discussions on the consciousness of early humanity. The cave paintings at Lascaux, in modern-day France, are rendered with remarkable deftness and skill. Likewise, the sculpture of a fertile woman found in Willendorf in modern-day Austria bears testimony that early artwork showed signs of technical sophistication. These works of art also shed light on the values, worldviews, and ways of life of prehistoric human beings. The creative impulse, the drive to create not just practical tools for daily life, but also objects of art, exemplifies the advancement of human consciousness beyond the simple animalistic survival instinct. The Woman of Willendorf and the cave art in Lascaux show how human beings expressed their self-consciousness and how they envisioned their role in the greater world around…...

Glass Making William Morris viewed glass as a way to recreate ancient archeological artifacts—items that looked like they were made of bone, sinew, or fiber. He turned glass into objects that looked like something else completely—an animal’s horn or a skin flask. John Ruskin was a philosopher and art critic who viewed Venice as the epicenter of artwork and a city that was a work of art in and of itself. This concept was passed on to Dale Chihuly, who welcomed the artistic philosophy that art is comprised of a dynamic in which color and space play integral parts. Chihuly’s glass making has a little bit of Morris and a little bit of Ruskin in it in the sense that his objects are dynamically produced—full of color and life—and yet so unlike other glass artifacts that they have a life all their own. They explode outward as though they were real…...

Sculpture
An unconventional equestrian statue adorns the outside of the Federal Trade Commission building in Washington, D.C. Rather than riding astride his horse, the man depicted in the statue by Michael Lantz is wrestling with the animal. The physical exertion on the part of both man and horse is immediately apparent in their expressive body language, tense musculature, and fervent facial expressions. Erected in 1942, the "Man Controlling Trade" is deeply symbolic and perfectly representative of the core mission of the FTC. The FTC exists to regulate business, with goals of preventing monopolies, stimulating healthy competition, and encouraging entrepreneurship. In Lantz's statue, the horse represents unregulated trade. The massive creature is, ironically, one that has been tamed for use by human beings for centuries if not thousands of years. The horse has been used as a mode of transportation and beast of burden, and was used as both up until the…...

Sculpture as Art
Sculpture is art for a variety of reasons. First, the sculptor must study art, to begin his craft. He must also study stone carving, or work with stone and other mediums to become successful. Michelangelo did not simply pick up a chisel and begin to carve the Pieta; he studied with several masters, and worked on his art for years before he sculpted this masterpiece.

He had to learn about the human body to sculpt it correctly, and he had to know about the properties of the marble so he could carve and mold it without cracking it, and ruining the work. Modern sculptors may not use stone for their work, but the majority of them still have to understand the principles behind art, as well as the principles of the medium they work with. Even sculptors who use junkyard parts have to understand how to piece them together…...

Moore's figure has no discernable facial features as the Chac Mool does.
The effect of Moore's drapery is different from the stiffer clothes worn by the Chac Mool. Moore's figure seems more fluid and therefore more relaxed than the stiffer, more stoic Chac Mool. The latter is in stone and the former in bronze, adding to their overall effects. The Chac Mool also seems more angular, as the figure has more straight lines than the Moore bronze.

5. What are the most obvious similarities between her sculptures and Henry Moores sculptures.

n general, Barbara Hepworth's collection is less representative and more abstract than Henry Moore's. Moore appreciates the use of figures and has drawn heavily from indigenous arts like the Chac Mool stone statue. Few of Hepworth's pieces are representative or anthropomorphic.

In general, Barbara Hepworth's collection is less representative and more abstract than Henry Moore's. Moore appreciates the use of figures and has drawn heavily from indigenous arts like the Chac Mool stone statue. Few of Hepworth's pieces are representative or anthropomorphic.

However, Moore also incorporates abstraction into his work. The Large Arch in Oslo, for instance, is a sensual archway that hearkens to the human form. The Art Gallery of Ontario collection of Henry Moore works includes several abstract pieces. Some of Moore's figures border on the abstract like the Reclining Figure at Cambridge.

Moore's oval series such as the Double Oval and Oval with Points at the Henry Moore Foundation demonstrates remarkable similarities to Hepworth's sculpture. Hepworth does include several oval forms in her portfolio such as a bronze one from 1964. Hepworth and Moore both use negative and positive space in their respective oval and sphere sculptures. They worth their media around empty space by creating holes inside the ovals and spheres. Hepworth's Spheres with Inner Form like the ones at the Kroller-Muller Museum and the one at Cornwall are similar to Moore's ovals, although Hepworth uses a greater variety of sculpting media (including marble and wood) than Moore does.

Sculpture
Patrick Amiot and Brigitte Laurent are a husband and wife team working out of Sebastopol, California. Amiot salvages discarded material, mainly metal, for the use and re-use in the assembly of semi-public art. Laurent paints the sculptures and provides the detailing that, according to the artists' website, brings them to life. The work of Amiot and Laurent can be too easily dismissed as lowbrow, when in fact, the underlying meaning and message of the sculptures is one that is socially conscious and politically profound.

Most of the Amiot and Laurent sculptures are figurative and representational. Although there are abstract elements in each of the compositions, they each depict either a fictitious or historical figure. For example, the sculptures on display in Sebastopol include one of Yankees legend Babe Ruth. Batman also makes an appearance in a Amiot and Laurant sculpture garden.

As can be readily seen in Figure 1 above, this work is not a traditional piece by any means, but the artist clearly spared no expense in creating an elegant and sophisticated work that quickly catches the eye and invites further investigation and hands-on activity. In fact, perhaps the most appealing quality of this work and many of the others by Orozco is its accessibility and overwhelming sense of participating that it engenders in the viewer. ho could resist trying their hand at this graceful but apparently challenging "game" that does not appear to have any specific rules but does provide viewers with some concrete artistic boundaries in which to formulate their own.

This sculpture is carved from the juniper tree.
Modeling is an example of the additive process. Clay is most commonly used for modeling purposes. Its pliable qualities lends this material perfectly not only for adding to the initial product, but also for molding it according to the sculptor's wish. Clay is furthermore a popular materials because of its capacity to retain its shape after being molded. Firing or baking clay shapes makes it waterproof, hard and durable. The term commonly used for clay art and craft is ceramics.

An example of ceramics is Case of Bottles by Robert Arneson. This work creates a poignant contrast between Arneson's rough, hand-made work and the subject-matter he addresses, which focuses on mass-produced, consumer products. Clay lends itself particularly well to this clever use. In this, clay is perhaps the easiest sculpting material to work with when using the additive…...

The way the sculptor created shapes inside the shape itself make the light on the sculpture change and alter throughout the day, casting shadows here and there in random patterns. It makes the sculpture more interesting and effective, I think.
It is also interesting that the statue does not have any arms. In this, it is like the ancient statue of Venus, that is missing its arms, and that ties the old and the new together in this work. It is interesting to see how other people create art and what shapes and colors they see in their art, and this piece is interesting, 3-dimensional, and very representative of obert Cole's modern art vision. I like this piece, and would like to see more of Cole's work in the future, up close and personal.

paid a visit to the Eclectic Menagerie Park, which is on the south side of the city. The Menagerie Park is an open-air space, privately-owned but available to the public, that contains a number of large animal sculptures. Some of the best pieces are made from iron. Some of the finer examples include a massive armadillo, a winged dragon-like creature, a stegosaurus, roadrunner and a birdman. The Birdman is constructed out of iron bars, a medium which befits the location adjacent to an iron pipe yard, invoking the same industrial aesthetic. The Birdman's intricate nature is such that it appears to be the most complex work there. The Birdman was created by Ron Lee, who constructed most of the pieces at the park. It is made out of iron. There is no date on the work, so the date of creation is unknown.
Contextually, the Birdman is a mythological creature…...
