Exploring+Sculpture

In order to prepare for your sculpture studio project, you will search the web for some interesting sculptures and read about the artists who created them.

You will also slowly get into using both an analytical and a subjective analysis to recognize specific components of some sculptors works (and you will eventually compare their work to your own!).

Your task(s):

__**PART ONE**__

1. Use the list of sculptors provided and/or search on your own to find several (three or more) sculptures that interest you. Examine the photos on the websites and read a little about the artists. Some of these websites may be the artists' websites, while other sites might be gallery sites, event sites or even poster sites.

2. After examining three or more sculptures/sculptors, create a new post in the discussion section of this page. Title your post: "Cool Sculpture" or something like that.

3. In your post, you must do __**four**__ things:

i) Provide the name of the artist ii) Give a subjective reason why you like the artist's sculpture iii) Give an analytical reason why you like the artist's sculpture........refer to the Elements and Principle of Design page for a summary of the Elements and Principles of Design and use your own knowledge (of course!). This means that you must state that you like the artist's use of something like shape (positive and negative), texture, movement/direction, contrast, balance, emphasis, rhythym, line, color, pattern and so on.

THERE IS AN EXAMPLE POST ON THE SCULPTURE DISCUSSION PAGE ALREADY.......CHECK IT OUT!

iv) Paste the url (website address) of the site that you examined the sculpture on.


 * __PART TWO__**

1. Choose someone else's post on sculpture, read the post, follow the link, examine the sculptor's work and then add a "reply" to the post.

2. In your reply, give one sujbective reason why your like the artist's work and one analytical reason why you like their work.
