Is marble easy to sculpt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It would depend on the limestone!

"Freestone" limestone (masons' term) is fairly soft, fine-grained and homogenous so can be cut into smooth faces and fine details but cannot be polished very highly. Typically, it is from Jurassic deposits: e.g. Portland Stone (S. England) and Caen Stone (NW France).

The original Mason-Dixon Line marker stones are of Portland Stone thanks to the Penn (as in ~sylvania) family's home links.

There is a bed found on Portland, called "Roach", which is hard, crystalline limestone riddled with the open moulds of small shells. These cavities give it a spnge-like texture, rendering it unsuitable for carving although is used in its own right for decorative work. In the past it was used for semi-ashlar civil- & military- engineering masonry.

Other limestones such as most of those from the Carboniferous, are very tough and crystalline, often shot through with calcite veins, so not amenable to fine stonework and sculptural uses.

In all limestone formations, some units can be thin and flaggy, useful as floor or walling stone, or as roofing "tiles", but little else.

Marble (in its geological sense) is metamorphosed from limestone, and is hard and finely-crystalline calcium carbonate. The higher the metamorphism heat and pressure the purer the mineral aas the original organic content has been driven out of the matrix. Loses its original bedding in the process. Can be cut in all directions and takes a high polish.

What is the meaning of the phrase 'unity in art'?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Conceptual Unity in art means that the elements found in an art are related to each other in terms of what, how and when it is used. For example, in a picture of a dining table complete with fork, spoon, plates, food, glass, etc. All these things are used for eating. And the pictures represent a dining table, which normal means a place where a person eats.

Are all statues made of marble?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Marble is not a color, but rather a type of rock. The color of the sculptures are due to the natural colors, shades, and patterns in the rock.

The reality is that the Greek marble works were brightly painted in reds, blues etc - the Greeks lived in a riot of colour, but this has disappeared over the centuries since. Some show traces of their former glory, but are hard to detect. This was first discovered in a 1920s excavation in a ravine at the back of the Acropolis in Athens which uncovered the statues of the gods broken up by the Persians in 480 BCE. After the Persians were driven off, the Athenians wondered what to do with the broken gods, and put them in the ravine waiting for the gods to tell them what to do. They became covered over and waited there for nearly two and a half thousand years, and revealed the real nature of Greek art, which was not the bland marble we imagined it to be.

Why artists used different methods in presenting art?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

because if the methods were all the same, it would be really boring wouldn't it? it's like all humanity looks, feels, acts, and talks alike, or are the same for thousands of miles. Everyone is different in their own way. no one has to be the same as someone else.

What do you call the subject matter or what the viewer recognizes as the main intent or meaning of an artwork?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, that is usually referred to as subject matter. A meaning or message in a work of art is more subjective, that is it can be different to different people. A simple example is the statue of 'David' by Michaelangelo. The subject matter is a young David at the moment before he slays Goliath. A meaning or message of the work could be the super human qualities of a hero.

How do you write using Graphics Tablet?

User Avatar

Asked by Emzlala

First off, you must download the tablet driver onto your computer (that should be included as a CD with your tablet when you buy it). This will help calibrate your tablet to your computer and activate features like pen pressure that could be helpful later on. If the CD is not included with your tablet, drivers can be found on the wacom

website. Make sure you download the correct driver for your tablet.
Then you should get a drawing software like Paint Tool SAI, Photoshop

or if you are unable to acquire those, use the software program that came with your tablet.


It takes time to get used to your tablet. Make sure to practice a lot and you'll drawing like a pro in no time!

Who was in charge in Egypt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Muhammed Ali Pasha, an Albanian commander in service of the Ottoman Empire. He was ordered by the Ottoman Empire to re-occupy Egypt in 1801 after the withdrawal of Napoleon Bonaparte's forces.

It was a long clash between the Ottoman turks and the Mamluke Sultanate(the old Egyptian state from before the Ottoman Empire took over in 1517, still seeking to regain their rule and maintaining the power they still had.).

In 1805, a group of prominent Egyptians demanded that the current governor stepped down and that Muhammed Ali took his place. And later gave himself the title of Khedive(Viceroy) and declared independence from the Ottoman Empire as the Khedivate of Egypt (although not recognized). And in 1811 he murdered the remaining Mamluk beys to strengthen his control over Egypt.

How do you graffiti?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You just do it. You can identify yourself with a style, which is what makes this artform so amazing. Everyone who does it brings something new to it. If you are going out to tag, make sure you don't work somebody else's neighborhood. It's disrespectful. Do not tag over a tag. Also, you don't just start tagging if you're not fast or creative enough. Practice at home on cardboard and get to know what you can do with a can. As for the person who answered this question the first time, it would be to your credit to give advice rather than try and diminish the strength of the person brave enough to ask it. For all we know, this question could have come from a 9 year old kid just wanting to learn. Teaching is a gift and it sounds like you have the knowledge. Share it. Google graffiti artists and see their different styles and have some inspiration, and look at a guy called Banksy, he is one of the, if not the, most famous and skilled graffiti artist in the world.

How do you get dry acrylic paint off a paint pallet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Exactly what to do depends on what your palette is made of. For fast results, I would generally recommend a liberal use of brush cleaner, but it generally eats plastic palettes. The good news is that acrylics are water-soluble, so all you really have to do is wash/scrub your palette. Actually, if you keep the palette in a bag with a little water, I've found that the paint will congeal and you can simply peal it off the palette. If your palette is wood, do beware of excessive amounts of water.

How do you watercolor paint?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Watercolor painting is very easy if you get the correct amount of water on your paper or in your brush. You would need to read a book or take a few lessons. It's like riding a bike. You don't know how unless you have someone show you and help you and you try. Just remember one thing. Light should be light and dark should be dark. That's what make the best paintings.

Describe two ways to decrease the intensity of red?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the question is how to decrease the intensity of the color red in wet media like paint one method is to use a small amount of the opposite color (in this case green) to decrease the intensity. Depending on the red, cadimium can mix with earth tones, but a red like alizarion will tone down with some cool yellow or blue. For the most part it really depends on the type of media and the type of pigments. Having a working knowledge of the color wheel and transparent and opaque pigments, along with experimentation is the best way to find the right mix.
