Sculpting

When plaster of Paris is heated to 473 K, it undergoes a process called calcination, where it loses water of crystallization and converts back to gypsum. The chemical reaction involved in this process is: 2CaSO4 · 2H2O → 2CaSO4 · 1/2H2O + 3H2O.

Sculptures are important because they are an expressive form of art.

The first person to sculpt something was one of our ancient ancestors. Their identity is lost in time and we can not tell you who they were.

Sand sculptures date back to ancient times, with evidence of sand art found in various cultures. Historical records suggest that the practice may have originated as early as 2000 BC in regions like Egypt and China. However, contemporary sand sculpting as an art form gained popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly with the advent of beach culture. Today, sand sculpting is celebrated globally, especially during festivals and competitions.

Really? Bronze (copper and tin alloy)

Bronze sculptures are normally made by the 'cire-perdue' method (lost-wax). So was this one. Click link below if you want to know this technique!

Additive/Add: Welding pieces together to form a new shape. Adding lumps of clay to form a bust. Subtractive/Subtract: Carve wood from a tree trunk to make a shape.

Reductive and additive.

In one you start with a block of wood or some such material and remove, bit by bit to achieve the final form

In the other you add, layer upon layers to build up the final form.

the artist often uses his/her own body, there typically is no object to be bought and sold, and it utilizes aspects of theater, dance and music.

Frank Gehry made sculptures out of wood, corrugated steel, chain link fencing, and other materials as a child before he became an architect. His use of these materials was inspired by spending Saturdays at his grandfather's hardware store.

Yes, Dale Chihuly has three children: two sons, Jackson and Benjamin, and a daughter, Chloe. His family has been supportive of his artistic endeavors, and they have been involved in various aspects of his life and work. Chihuly's children have pursued their own paths, contributing to the arts and other fields.

Yes. Depending on what the sculpture is made of and what it depicts can give purpose to a sculpture but mainly they are just for show.

carving

Traditionally, sculptures are carved from some sort of stone (like granite, limestone, marble, etc.) or a cast metal which is usually brass or bronze. A work of art made from any material could technically be called a sculpture, though, even if it is made from something completely non traditional like bubble gum or paper clips for example.

forms usually are either organic or geometric. Organic shapes resemble shapes usually met in nature; the gentle curve of a tree branch, the floral or a rock for example.

Geometric shapes are easy to draw and measure with rulers and other devices. Usual geometric shapes are symmetric like circle, square, triangle, cross... for example. Geometric shapes can also be asymmetric.

Alexander Calder was a very prolific artist and worked in many medias. He is most well known for his kinetic hanging mobiles, an art-form that he created. His mobiles were typically constructed of aluminum sheet metal, steel wire, and paint. His mobiles were most often constructed using mechanical fastening methods such as crimping and riveting rather than brazing or welding. He also created larger stationary sculptures called "stabiles" which were made of thick metal plate which was riveted or welded, and then painted - usually in flat black or the iconic reddish orange such as the Flamingo sculpture in Chicago.

Calder also enjoyed painting with gouache, which is similar to a watercolor paint media, and doing line drawings in ink. Calder also did wood free-carving, sculpture from found objects, wire sculpture, casting, jewelry making in gold and silver, and kinetic sculpture with mechanical mechanisms. Calder even used mercury in a kinetic fountain that he created for the 1937 World Exhibition in Paris. Credited with producing over 16,000 works in his life, it would be difficult to find a media that Calder did not experiment with.
