Editor's Notes
- Video of Cara & Tom
- SculptureA three-dimensional work of art, traditionally produced by carving, modelling or casting.Fountain is based on an anatomical model of the inner ear the artist found in his studio and a weathered outdoor table salvaged from his brother’s backyard. Meticulously carved in Opal Bianca marble at ten times the model’s original size. The sculpture also contains transparent resin casts of the ear drum and cochlear. The table you see is actually made out of bronze, which was cast from an old plastic table. RESPONDFor his artwork, Fountain, HanyArmanious takes a small unseen part of the body and makes it gigantic in scale.Discuss the idea of monumental sculpture and the affect of scaling up an object.Ask students to choose something small to make monumental.Sketch the sculpture in a context that shows its size.Make a maquette (scale model) of their sculpture.
