Project Goals:
Learn about sculptors who work to define space
Work with clay to create a non-representational sculptural form that utilizes positive and negative space to make it interesting from all sides.
Artists and Art Culture Studied:
Barbara Hepworth, Ruth Asawa, Henry Moore, Jean Arp, Mark di Suvero
Reflection:
While working with the clay other students should be aware of dry and cracking clay. Students should consider continuously smoothing out their pieces while working on them, so it is less likely to crack when it begins to become more dry. I would also recommend students use a tool to add a piercing to the sculpture, while using your fingers it's difficult to keep the shape that you had previously worked hard on.
My sculpture is intriguing to viewers because you have to rotate/walk around the piece to see all of the interesting aspects and sides. There are no flat faces on my piece making light able to travel through and underneath my sculpture.
Jean Arp's work
I think that my sculpture is the most similar to Jean Arp‘s work because most of his sculptures are very smooth and rounded, similar to mine. His use of positive and negative space regarding punctures looks very similar to how they're shaped in my sculpture.
