Sculptures are used to portray specific idealizations of the artists about one subject, whether the object is a person, animal, or anything else. Sculptures are a form of art thus also a form of expression that is seen from the artists style or the composure of the sculpture. The sculpture of George Lynn Cross and the sculpture of Carl Albert both show what the artist would like the audience to focus on depending on the various attributes and characteristics of the sculpture. Art has a broad meaning, in all if not most cases art is defined by the ability of the work to appeal to one’s senses thus demanding analysis and countless perspectives. Sculptures are two or three dimensional artforms made by artists to provide a visual perspective. …show more content…
Cross is seen holding a book, from first glance you can see the importance of academics as is seen by the book in hand and clothing style. The Statue is an impression of cross rather than the other forms of sculptures we see in art. The Larger than life statue contributes to the fact that he spent several decades overseeing the campus and a catalyst that has made OU the campus that it is today. Moore established Art scholarships at OU, which casts a wide net including Latino and Spanish students and some students in the athletic department.
The statue of late Carl Albert who was the U.S. speaker of the house, was praised for the fact that he rose to the highest position of any local. This statue was made by none other than Paul moore who was an artist-in-residence at the time. Carl Albert lived from 1947 to 1977, and in that lifetime accomplished what most had not, he was the 46th speaker in the house of representatives and third district of

Albert’s face is portrayed with a stern look, which can be the artists perspective of Albert and what he would like to portray to his audience. Albert has one of his hands in his pocket often meaning he is a smart thinker and depends on logic to make his judgements, the hand in pocket can also portray Albert as casual. The Sculpture is an impression of Albert rather than the other forms of art that are as popular. The sculpture has the characteristics that would show that it was created by Paul Moore.
The two sculptures were created by Paul Moore, who is a native of Oklahoma from Muscogee nation. Moore is a member of the National Sculpture Society as well as a member of the Cowboy Artists of America, he is a professor in figurative sculpture and as previously mentioned has worked on many sculptures that are seen on campus. Moore has acheieved a lot of accolades in his artistic pursuits, including the Maurice B. Hexter prize, Margaret Hexter prize, and many more. Moore’s artistic talents haven’t gone unnoticed, many of his sculptures are placed in prestigious and well known
Both sculptures represent Mary holding the dead body of Jesus. According to our textbook, “This figure group represented a challenge for sculptors, because the body of the adult Christ had to be positioned across his mother’s lap,” (139). Both of the sculptures were created through carving. This is a “subtractive process in which a block of material is cut away to reveal the desired form,” (Carving).

The art represented more than just sculpture. The art represented the social issue of racism by not having “black art” in a “white museum”. History shows us that black or African-American people have had a hard time fitting into this society because of the older days were black people were considered to be inferior to the “white
... shapes but could not understand the point it was trying to convey. Now that I have read and learned about Meadmore, I can distinguish the three goals that Meadmore intended for. I see the flexibility of simple geometry and how it can express dynamic movement through this sculpture. Overall, it is interesting how Meadmore’s life and ideas relate to his artistic design, “Always.”
Sculpture is a medium that artists in ancient Greek commonly used to express spoken truths in an unspoken form. Every piece of ancient Greek sculpture has more than what the eye sees to explain the story behind the [in this case] marble.
With works in every known medium, from every part of the world, throughout all points in history, exploring the vast collection of the Museum of Modern Art was an overwhelming experience. The objects in the Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts are an important historical collection, reflecting the development of a number of art forms in Western Europe. The department's holdings covered sculpture in many sizes, woodwork and furniture, ceramics and glass, jewelry, and tapestries. The gallery attracted my appreciation of the realistic qualities of the human body often portrayed in sculpture.
While doing my research on Marela Zacarias, my eyes have opened up more when it comes to art. I’ve come to like sculptures more than I do portraits. I like that you can actually feel the outlining and curves of a sculpture than you would a flat surface portrait. The thing I love most about Zacarias’s sculptures, is that it’s so unique and comes at you with beautiful colors and patterns. It also seems as if it were a linen drapes coming at you or a linen bed cover drying outside and the wind is blowing it, causing it to get that rippled effect. Art can be many things in one’s eyes. But what is art to
This sculpture seems to epitomize the ideal male human form. All of the body parts seem perfectly proportioned and the muscles are beautifully defined as if the image were of an athlete. The image is youthful with a calm demeanor. The right missing forearm looks as if it used to be resting at his side, while the left elbow was probably at a 90 degree angle, with the hand holding something. The slight bend in the left leg gives the impression of movement, as if the image was frozen while walking. The counterpoised stance adds an air of nobility to the "man".
Though most works of art have some underlying, deeper meaning attached to them, our first impression of their significance comes through our initial visual interpretation. When we first view a painting or a statue or other piece of art, we notice first the visual details – its size, its medium, its color, and its condition, for example – before we begin to ponder its greater significance. Indeed, these visual clues are just as important as any other interpretation or meaning of a work, for they allow us to understand just what that deeper meaning is. The expression on a statue’s face tells us the emotion and message that the artist is trying to convey. Its color, too, can provide clues: darker or lighter colors can play a role in how we judge a piece of art. The type of lines used in a piece can send different messages. A sculpture, for example, may have been carved with hard, rough lines or it may have been carved with smoother, more flowing lines that portray a kind of gentleness.
With wrinkled with sagging jowls, the face of a Roman aristocrat stares out at us with a serious expression. Deep facial wrinkles, furrowed brow, hollow cheeks, thinning hair and even wrinkle lines around the neck lend authtencity to the sculpture and make it very lifelike to me. You can bet that his personality was determined. The name of the individual is unknown. The veristic style of Republican portraiture conveyed

One of the key characteristic of the two types of sculpture that is the subject of the painting. Hindu sculptures commonly represent their gods and deities, such as Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Buddhist sculptures dating between the 1st and 5th century use symbols such as the wheel, footprints, or empty thrones to represent the teachings of Buddha. Sculptures after the 6th
We are going to compare and contrast the two comparatively different sculptures originating from ancient kingdoms, a bit contemporary and not so distant from each other – the pair originated from old kingdom of Egypt during 4th dynasty around circa 2575–2465 B.C. and seated Gudea from Neo-Sumerian kingdom of Mesopotamia around circa 2090 B.C. (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, n.d. /n.d.). This analysis would to try to explain how successfully the appearance of the sculptures accomplishes their purpose of creation.
Art is an expression of feelings, body language, and culture produced by humans. Art can be expressed in many different ways, and in many different forms from time to time! You’d be amazed with the different types of skilled work artists come up with each day and it’s all just someone, one person expressing how they feel or what they believe. One form of art that I find very interesting is Fauvism.
Art is one of the most intriguing and exiting forms of human expression. A picture can tell a thousand words and often stir up feelings inside the viewer. Art is all around us.buildings,electronic equipment like a computer, and even automobiles are all a form of art.
