Lueth and Roden have transformed a block piece into a meticulous 46″ x 30″ artwork. Portraying lush forests and an abundant growth of exotic and colorful landscapes, the work has an abundance of vibrancy to rival a rainbow, under a landscape of a mountain range. The woodblock print, Overlook, is built on 5 plates including 4 color blocks each uniquely carved on

My art work is influenced by Michelle Griffiths; her work explores the natural rhythm of traditional shibori techniques to create contemporary three dimensional sculptures. Working predominantly in whites and creams Michelle records the actions found within shibori; stitching, binding, gathering, manipulating and folding - not through the expected dye process, but purely as texture and form. Michelle first observed the artisans who had spent their entire lives manipulating cloth prior to its being dyed. As a trained musician, Michelle is fascinated to see that the repetitive shibori actions were represented on the cloth as pattern and texture, and were also imprinted upon the artisan’s hands and minds. These actions were so impressed upon the

Michael has over eight wire sculptures of animals and people. Two of them are wired on wood and hanged on a wall. Overall, Michael does a successful job in giving his sculptures three-dimensional aspects. For example, one of his finest works consists of a man sitting down in a chair with his crossed legs. Michael succeeds the 3D aspect of the sculpture by giving the man’s spine, head, and neck in round and cylinder shapes. In the, end the wire sculptures stand out because of how similar they all look to each other.

The group concentrated on form and texture. The group translated scale and detail into organic, sometimes abstract design (Jacobs, 1995).

Jennifer McCurdy’s art is about what she sees in nature. She takes the inspiration from things such as dead fish, the way light bounces off waves, the movement of dance, etc. She uses porcelain clay because of its clean, beautiful white surface and how it looks after it’s fired. Mostly all the pieces she has made have been or are functional. The sides or top of the art work is cut out to make the design on her art but, the function of a bowl or pot is still there since you can place things in them. She has been working with clay for over 30 years and has made over 140 pieces of art. The size of her art work can be 15x12x12 to 5x7x5. None of her art work is excessively large or extremely small.

Her current studio practice focuses on works that explore her interests in mark making as it relates to a pattern, drawing and personal expression. Stinson works ranges from the functional to sculptural. Each format is a way for her to engage the viewer on different and multiple levels. Stinson also utilizes multiple methods of making, throwing, slip casting, and press molding, to attain a variety of effects and unique characteristics in the finished work. These process and surfaces help to develop the underlining content in the finished pieces.

Hesse formed a unique language through her use of fluid materials ideas around fetishism and psychology influenced the work and her abstract minimalist sculptures often contained anthropomorphic elements. The Legacy of Hesse is accredited to her connecting minimalism with human presence Hesse moved the work of minimalism on from its manufactured use of materials ‘’ By working closely with the substance and accidents of material process Hesse thought it might be possible to break out into a radically different realm. The resulting work would be, in her own words a ‘’ non, nothing, everything, but of another kind, vision, sort. From a total other reference point.’ (Lippard 1976)

The use of geometric shapes in this painting allows the subject to be viewed in both a recognizable and unrecognizable state at the same time. Overall, geometric shapes and patterns play an essential role in what the viewer sees, which is further supported by a powerful color palate.

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 evolving partnership of Charles Vyse and Barbara Waller (1949-1951) would prove to be exacting and industrious. Working at the Cheyne Row studio they produced a number of animal and figure models, alongside a range of Chinese inspired high-fired, ash glazed stoneware vessels. Whether by design or accident, much of the figurative work of Vyse and Waller partnership, would in the future, prove problematical for collectors. However, at this remove, it is difficult to attribute some figures and vessels, either jointly or individually. Furthermore, it is impossible to assign specific tasks, such as modelling, decorating, and glazing, to either of the partners. To compound the conflict of attribution, there are occasions when both Vyse and Waller have exhibited the same figure, individually signed, and again, as a

Pereira’s own work demonstrates the use in art of machine-made media and industrial technologies, an approach advocated by the Bauhaus artists in Germany (Phillips Collection). Irene was so interested in science that she required her students to take chemistry, industrial mechanics, and physical study of light at the New York Laboratory School of Design where she taught classes. Irene’s interest in the sciences became a central point and an inspiration for her painting and constructing her work. Over the course of her career, she incorporated an unusual range of materials, including paints mixed with metal, glass, radium, and other new materials, into her compositions (Phillips Collection). This explains the terrain-like sections on the Mecca as they could be mixture of glass, metal, rocks, and ceramic fluids mixed with paint. Because of the different types of material and variety of colors Irene uses for her work, the arrangement allows the viewer to look through shifting facets of color, created by the corrugated surfaces, to the bottom

It was a rainy day in LA. I have been praying to not have rain while I am in LA but unfortunately, at the point of where I almost got rid of the cold, it has rained at last. However, I had a good experience/visit along rain. Although I am a fashion student, I am interested in ceramics because I had worked and made a lot of ceramics since my cousin sister got her degree in ceramics. When I was about 6 years old that I first made my own pots. Because I love making things with clay and familiar with ceramics, Peter Shire’s art works were really interesting to me that those are unusual, unique, different from the tradition mold of the cups, kettles, etc.

In this paper I will describe my interpretation of the sculpture through visual observation. Henry Moore is said to be the most important British sculptor of the 20th century, and the most popular and internationally celebrated sculptor of the post-war period. Moore, believed that a material had its own vitality and therefore used a direct carving technique and worked on the material directly instead of molding and casting. Moore was inspired by the human body and the nature. This led him to creating abstract forms to draw analogies between the human body and landscape.
