ART 200 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Ceramic Art, Living Sculpture, Great Salt Lake
Document Summary
The subtractive process is when the sculptor works with materials larger than the finished work and the mass has pieces removed, or subtracted, until the mass achieves its final form. In this example, we see an additive work consisting of objects arranged in a circle and oriented like a compass. Example: chinese mastery of ceramic art is exemplified in the terracotta warriors found at a royal tomb. More than 6,000 life-size figures of soldiers and horses acted as immortal bodyguards for the emperor. (slide 5) in relief sculptures, imagery projects from a 2d plane. Types of relief include low and high relief, which are ways to describe this type of sculpture according to how shallow or deep its characteristics are carved. Example: the capture of the sabine women shows a rising spiral of figures with each side changing the viewer"s experience.
