Cloud Gate

From my observation at the Met, this sculpture is inside a medium glass and space. Also, it is by itself in the glass. It is a three-dimensional sculpture created by modeling and merging hard materials. Next to it there are other deities (Vishnu, Parvati, Ganesh etc.) and sculptors from the Chola Dynasty. The other works near it complements the sculpture as I have stated above they are from the same time period so, they are related to each other some way and

TorusMacroCopula is a sculpture created by, Ernesto Neto. This sculpture is a representation of a large scale environment sculpture. An environment sculpture is a sculpture that you can physically enter into or explore either indoors or in a contained space. This sculpture consists of large plastic balls in netting hung from the ceiling. Tourists are able to enter inside of the netting and physically walk across the gigantic plastic balls. This artwork would be classified as an assemblage because it was the process of brining individual pieces together to form a larger whole. The individual objects that were assembled together would be the large plastic balls and the netting.

Some features include the size of the women and appearance. The size of the women in the sculpture shows that she is big and powerful. And the appearance and how she is sitting shows that she is a royalty or like Mellaart said goddess. Another understanding could of been that it was just a sculpture pertaining to body image.

Every soul will be judged and the good will go to heaven and the damned will go to hell. The sculpture vividly expresses the emotional intensity of what the afterlife will look like. On the left-side the sculpture shows “heaven” the figures show that they are at peace because they know their souls have been saved. The children are laughing and the angels are blowing their trumpets with joy in anticipation of Christs’ return. As for the right-side it tells of what “Hell” maybe like, demons are weighing the souls and claiming them. It shows people suffering, crying and realizing that they’re going to hell for

Zinsser did a great job of physically describing the fountain. When I saw an image of the monument, it was close to how I had envisioned it. Zinsser’s successful description was a result of breaking

For my enrichment report, I decided to take a trip to the Los Angeles County Museum. However, I was trapped with the challenging choice of choosing only one museum for my cultural visit. Since, there are so many prodigious and amazing museums to choose from to visit in the county. But, I have heard many great feedbacks about the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from fellow classes mates, friends and family. So, I finally, had my destination set to and planned a visit to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Upon my visit my attention was already fixated on the unique building layout and the many arts exhibited located all around the outside of the museum building. There were several building that housed the many different art exhibits. Such as the first building I walked into, after purchasing a ticket. This building was called the “Ahmanson” building, which housed voluminous and diverse art of the European, Islamic, South and Southeast Asian Art, Art of the Ancient World, Art of the Pacific and Others. There were also many special exhibitions that was hosted at the time of my visit, such as the modern art gallery and Rifkin Gallery for German Expressionism. One of the sculpture centered in the middle of the building of the “Ahmanson” building called “Smoke” really caught my attention. As it quite an enigmatic and stunning metal sculpture that mesmerizes illusions based on your interpretation and perspective of the piece.

The sculpture is made out of bin bags and … it is a very creative way to make ripped bin bags look like fire. Seeing a burning man can make people feel

The piece that was chosen was a cast bronze sculptor called “Mantime” in the American Painting and Sculptors exhibition from the El Paso Art Museum. This piece was created by Harry Geffert in 1995. Geffert is an American sculptor who was born in Live Oak County, Texas in 1934. As of today he lives and works at Crowely, Texas. Geffert has a Master degree from New Mexico Highlands University, Las Vegas, New Mexico and a Bachelor’s degree in South West Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. Harry Geffert is mostly known for his sculptors; and continues to create them as of today. (Worley, 2011)

Barbara Hepworth’s Epic Works In the article, “Jeanette Winterson: Barbara Hepworth’s Epic Works Changed the face of Sculpture," the author introduces us to the woman who interchanged the look of sculpting. Winterson states, “She wanted something that people would actually look at, rather than walk past, a piece where the meaning was inherent, rather than representational or symbolic”. That statement goes to show that Barbara Hepworth wanted to contribute something that was different from other sculptors. Barbara Hepworth’s work was captivating, engaging and she was autonomous. To begin, Barbara Hepworth’s work was quite captivating in various ways.

Several people stand by as they are in the process of creating the piece. Seemingly anyone can wander in and take a peak. Black ropes block off the construction area and people gather around to watch the structure being built. My personal experience at the Kimmel Center was less than exciting. I walked in and immediately felt like I shouldn’t be there. I took a few pictures as I looked around in order for me to be able to better describe the look of the place. One of the men who was watching the sculpture kept peering over at me as if I was doing something wrong (I even have a picture of him giving he a snide look). No one greeted me or even looked my way (besides for that one guy). The sculpture was exciting to watch, though… that was definitely the highlight of my first experience at the Kimmel Center. My next trip to the famous Hard Rock Café was much more

Our world is full of so many grandiose monuments, eye-catching sculptures, and stunning statues, each having an individual story to tell. Thousands of them have been created however, only a small number of them are actually extraordinary and picture-worthy. This paper will compare and contrast two of those picture-worthy sculptures. Furthermore, I will examine the aspects of each of these sculptures. I will compare and contrast what each of them represents, the differences in texture, their size and their tone.

The second sculpture I want to talk about today is “Campus Talk” by Dennis Smith. This is another permanent sculpture on Western Michigan University and is one that everyone usually sees when they are heading to the library. This sculpture is my third favorite one on campus at this point in time. The sculpture has two students talking to another student on a bike. Dennis Smith also did a superb job using the elements of art throughout this sculpture. When observing the sculpture, the first thing you notice is the contour lines in the sculpture such as the book cover, fingers, and the straps on the backpack. These lines help define the outside edges of the sculpture. The next element of art that one can see in this sculpture is shape. The wheel on the bike is a geometric shape because it is a circle. This a great example of this element and one that anyone who views it can find. The third element present in this sculpture is value. In the sculpture, there is a bit of a grey scale although the sculpture is mostly light green now due to the weather. The fourth element present in this sculpture is the texture. The sculpture has a simulated texture which means that it

Cloud Gate soon after its installation became an icon of the city of Chicago. The public took an instant liking to it, affectionately naming it "The Bean." It has incredible drawing power, attracting locals, tourists and art enthusiasts alike, and is now mostly the piece by which Kapoor is identified. It is one of the most photographed attractions in the city too.

Initially, when I walked up to this sculpture my thoughts were the name of the piece pretty much sums it up. Approaching the statues, they seem to just be large bronze masses on the corner of McCaul street but, as any art should be looked at, I decided to dig deeper than the superficial. The location is odd to me, mainly because the bronze forms are not alone in the corner of the building, but are not really impacted by its surroundings. The trees behind the statue are dead giving a desolate atmosphere invoking a sense of loneliness. Moreover, almost the entire area surrounding the piece is solid concrete, giving a very penitential outlook. I’m not sure if the sculpture’s initial approach is supposed to invoke miserable emotions but if so it does its job

My favorite three-dimensional sculpture is Diminish and Ascend by the artist David McCracken. This beautiful and amazing sculpture looks like a stairway to heaven, reaching over the edge of a cliff and reducing in size as it rises to what seems like infinity. When in reality it is a staircase that you couldn’t climb, literally or figuratively. Even so, the staircase is an eye-catching piece that will make it viewers stop to look, while also making imaginations start and minds wonder.
