The document discusses various sculpture techniques and terms. It covers the four main ways to create sculpture: additive, subtractive, modeling, and casting. It also defines key terms like relief sculpture, gesture drawing, and armature. Sculptors must create sketches from multiple angles before sculpting. The document provides examples of sculptors who used different techniques and encourages the reader to create a sculpture using modeling.

1. Sculpture Vocabulary

2. The 4 ways to create sculpture Additive Subtractive Modeling Casting

3. Sculptors Draw… Before creating sculptures many sketches from multiple viewpoints must be created. Even though the final product is 3D the sculptor must be proficent in drawing and painting.

4. Gesture: Gestural lines indicate action and physical movement. Our eyes follow the active lines as they swirl across the page In this example wire creates the gesture

5. Gesture drawing: Moving a drawing medium quickly and freely over a surface to capture the form and actions of a subject

6. Relief and in the round Relief sculpture refers to the only type of sculpture that is not viewed from all sides. Sculpture that is “in the round” is viewed by all sides Both types of sculpture can be created in the four traditional ways.

7. Relief Sculpture: a type of sculpture that has forms that extend into space from a single plane.

8. Some relief sculptures tell a story

9. Armature: internal support, often used to supply strength, or to provide weight reductions by providing volume and mass, which saves on outer material such as plaster

10. Additive: Additive sculpture is a process in which pieces of material are glued or joined together. As in modeling, assembled sculptures are built up. A house of cards, for example, is made by assembling. Additive sculpture is also known as “constructing” and assemblage.

11. Louise Nevelson Used assemblage to make her sculptures Is this a relief sculpture?

12. Casting: is a process, where the sculptor starts by making a mold.

13. Mold Cast Paper Cast Sculpture

14. Carving: Carving is a subtractive process. Michelangelo used the subtractive process of carving marble

15. Here are some more examples of carving

16. Modeling: is the building up and shaping of soft material to create a sculpture. Oil based clay model Bronze from clay model

17. In this project you will use the modeling technique. Create a texture Create as many details as possible to make it realistic Create the sculpture a size that will fit on a small plate Create a composition on the plate with the items you sculpt.
