Ms. Livoti

Monday 11-3No Classes

Tues 11-4 No Classes

Wed. 11-5Aim: What are the differences between 2D and 3D art forms?

Do Now: Create a list of different kinds of sculpture you’ve experienced seeing before. What

Tomorrow 11-6 : Mask research, one page artist statement/ packet is due!Counts as 10 points of project, and test grade!

2D art vs. 3D ArtPaintings and Drawings are FLAT- only height and widthUses lighting and shading, value to create the illusion of an object taking up space, having weight and form.

Three dimensional art has ACTUAL FORMIt is really 3DHas height, width and depthIt takes up actual spaceHas actual weight

Sculptures have Actual Form!

Review: Shapes are 2D- circles, squares, etc. Organic vs GeometricForms are 3D- spheres, cones, cubes, etc

Kinds of Sculpture

Free-standing sculpture: sculpture that is surrounded on all sides, except the base, by space. It is also known as sculpture "in the round", and is meant to be viewed from any angle.Relief - the sculpture is still attached to a background; Kinetic sculpture - involves aspects of physical motion- it actually moves

MobileAssemblage: constructed from found objectsSoft Sculpture: Sculpture made out of soft materials like fabric, which are sewed togetherEnvironmental/Land art: Alters the natural form of the environment, uses natural materials

Functional- can be used • pottery, ceramics- vessels like cups, jars• Furniture design• Clothing

Non-FunctionalArtwork to be displayed, looked at only, not used, decorative

Sculpture Techniques

• Additive process: adding things to the sculpture.Modeling: adding more of

the sculpture material to create the form

• Subtractive process: taking things away from the material you are making the sculpture out of.-carving, cutting, extracting

• Constructing: Materials are cut, shaped, found and attached together with other materials (also additive)

Manipulation: Changing the surface of the material you are sculpting with. In found object sculpture, altering the object.

Thursday 11-6Aim: What are the properties of plaster and how can it be used to construct your mask?

Do Now: List three kinds of sculpture processes

Homework: Bring in a cereal box by Friday!Collect items that you might need for your sculpture!

Mold and Casting

• Mold: the plastic face form• Cast: created from the mold,

through the use of plaster. Multiple casts can be made from one mold.

Among the artists especially known for their uses of plaster were Verrocchio (Italian, 1435-1488), Auguste Rodin (French, 1840-1917), and George Segal (American, 1924-2000).

Science Connection: Changing States

• Plaster begins as a solid powder• Mixed with water becomes a liquid• Through chemical reaction, hardens and

becomes a solid• You can feel the plaster changing states, as it

gives off heat• (thermal reaction!) • Science + Art= COOL STUFF!!!

Friday 11-7Aim: How can you continue to add plaster

bandages to the mask mold?Do Now: Flashback Friday: Pompeii

Continue to collect any items that are needed for decorating your sculpture

In AD 79 an eruption of Mount Vesuvius effectively wiped out the Roman town of Pompeii.

Pompeii was completely covered and remained hidden for over 1600 years.

In 1748, Pompeii was rediscovered--not only its houses, but (eventually) some of its citizens. Although only fragmentary skeletal remains were found there, hollow spaces within the hardened volcanic debris revealed the forms of many deceased Romans. Their bodies decayed in the hardening ash matter.

This air space essentially formed a mold, since the ash that had surrounded the person retained an imprint of the body. Excavators realized this and filled the air pockets with plaster. The resulting "plaster mummies" poignantly capture the human tragedy of Pompeii. http://www.mummytombs.com/pompeii/
