The book also discusses direct carving and the use of cartoons and automatic tools in carving. The work done by the author at the Henry Florence Memorial Hall is noted. The varieties of stones that can be used as medium in carving are explained. The text also looks at the methods in moving heavy weights, traditional carving of relief, and wood carving. Modeling as a way to create fine pieces of sculpture is underscored. The book also discusses the methods involved in building a large bronze memorial and an enormous aluminum stag. Alternative methods of casting a large memorial are also elaborated. The text also puts emphasis on fiberglass sculpture, including materials and methods to be employed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every material has an active presence and every material is susceptible to change. The task of the sculptor is to understand the natural properties of a chosen material, to know in the process of creation how best to work with, or against, its characteristics.

Book Synopsis Sculpting From Life - A Studio Manual of the Sight-Size Method by : Jason Arkles
Download or read book Sculpting From Life - A Studio Manual of the Sight-Size Method written by Jason Arkles and published by . This book was released on 2007-07-29 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first and only instructional manual written about the sight-size method as applied to sculpture. The blossoming Atelier Tradition in the United States and abroad has changed the way contemporary artists are trained, but scant attention had been paid to how figurative sculpture fits into this tradition, until now. 157 pages and over 200 illustrations guide the reader through every aspect of figurative clay modelling, including bas relief work, portraiture, and figure modeling, how to equip and outfit a studio, how to hire and use models, and more. The sight-size method is a strikingly different approach to clay sculpture than is offered by any other how-to manual. Combining optical principles and studio practice dating back five centuries and passed from Master to Apprentice right down to the Author himself, the sight-size method is a philosophy of perception as much as a powerful tool for the sculptor. Written for teachers and students alike.

Book Synopsis A Visual Course of Sculpting Techniques: 270 Photographs to Learn how to Model Clay Busts in the Round by : Fabrizio Savi
Download or read book A Visual Course of Sculpting Techniques: 270 Photographs to Learn how to Model Clay Busts in the Round written by Fabrizio Savi and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A visual Course of Sculpting techniques270 photographs to learn how to model clay busts in the roundThis is the second in a series of thematic visual courses in which I will share with the readers my long sculpting and designing experience.Through 270 commented colour pictures, I will guide curious and passionate readers in the realization of an all-round clay portrait, starting with the pictures of a face.The text provides all the information about the most suitable kind of clay, the tools to work it and the advice to bake it in the oven. It also provides instructions on how to take excellent pictures of the subject, from which we will take inspiration for the portrait.The pictures effectively demonstrate the correct positions and movements of the hands and tools, in order to correctly and profitably model clay.The course is not aimed at expert sculptors but at those who wish to start learning about the art of sculpture. The techniques shown here are the result of the author's 40-year-long experience as a sculptor, as well as of his experience as a teacher in the Italian High School and in his private courses.From his life-long experience, the author has learnt that, if you want to teach something, images are much more effective than words.By consequence, this manual is mainly made up of photographs followed by short explanantions.In the e-book edition the pictures are in colour, while in the paper book they are black and white, to reduce printing expenses. All the same, as the colour of clay is grey, this has no negative impact on the effectiveness of the course.I cannot guarantee you will reach perfection at your first attempt, but I can assure that the method shown in this manual is the quickest one to achieve excellent results.
