BC, Medieval Art: 1,400 AD- 2,000 BC)

ANALYSIS
Answer the following questions:
1. Can you remember the very first artwork that you made? What was it all about?
2. How does it compare to the ones that you make today?
3. What have you observed on the different pictures?
4. How was the elements and principles of arts being used? (The elements of art are the visual tools that
the artist uses to create a composition. These are line, shape, color, value, form, texture, and space.
The principles of art represent how the artist uses the elements of art to create an effect and to help
convey the artist's intent.)

ABSTRACTION
Art existed as long as humans have existed. Human’s early artworks or artifacts are essential for
archaeologists to learn more about human history. Although there are many artworks that have been lost
through time, the ones that have survived still offer insights on the creative process that our ancestors had.

Remember the Type of Art forms: Painting, Sculpture and Architecture.

What is Sculpture? sculpture, an artistic form in which hard or plastic materials are worked into three-
dimensional art objects. The designs may be embodied in freestanding objects, in reliefs on surfaces, or in
environments ranging from tableaux to contexts that envelop the spectator.

ANCIENT SCULPTURES 1,500,000 BC- 2,000 BC

Pre-Historic Sculptures
Materials used in sculptures vary according to region and locality. Archeologists believed that their sculpture
is a result of natural erosion and not of human artistry. Frequently carving may have mythological or
religious significance.

Venus of Willendorf Venus of Brassempouy

Egyptian Era Sculptures

Symbolic elements were widely used such as forms, hieroglyphics, relative size, location, materials, color,
actions, and gestures. Their tombs required the most extensive used of sculpture. The most common
materials used for sculptures are wood, ivory and stones.
Characteristics of the sculptures:
- Symbolisms were heavily used to represent the gods. They were represented as composite
creature with animal heads on human bodies
- Relief compositions were arranged in horizontal lines to record an event or represent an action.
- Most of the time the gods were shown larger than humans, the kings larger than their followers, the
dead larger than the living.
- Empty space were filled with figures or hieroglyphics All individual components were all brought to
the plane of representation and laid out like writing Queen

Queen Nefertiti The Pharaoh Menkaure and his queen

CLASSICAL PERIOD SCULPTURES (400 BC-400 BC)

a. Greek Sculptures
Early Greek sculptures were tensed and stiff, their bodies were hidden within enfolding robes. After three
centuries of experiments, Greek sculptures had finally evolved and showed all the points of human anatomy
and proportion. One of the most popular styles of the greek sculptures was the Hellenistic style. Hellenistic
denotes a preference in sculpture for more elaborated patterns, mannered arrangement of figures and
groups, and an emphasis on the representation of movement for dramatic effects.

Myron; The Discobulus

b. Roman Sculpture
Most Roman sculptures are made of monumental terra-cotta. They did not attempt to compete with the free-
standing Greek works of history on mythology but rather they produced reliefs in the Great Roman
triumphal columns with continuous narrative reliefs around.

The Portonacio Sarcophagus Sarcopagus, from cervetiri,

MEDIEVAL SCULPTURES (1,400 AD- 2,000 BC)

a. Byzantine Sculptures: The Barberini Diptych
The dominant themes in Byzantine sculptures are religious, everyday life scenes, and
motifs from nature. Animals were used as symbols (dove, deer, peafowl) while some had
acrostic signs (form of writing in which taking the first letter, syllable, or word of different
lines and putting them together to form a message) that contained a great theological
significance.

b. Romanesque Sculptures: Last Judgment

Some of the famous sculptural pieces are reliquaries, altar frontals, crucifixes, and
devotional images. Small individual works of art were generally made of costly materials
for royal and aristocratic patrons. These lightweight devotional images were usually
carried in the processions both inside and outside the churches.

c. Gothic Sculptures: Resurrection of the Virgin

Gothic sculptures have a greater freedom of style. They no longer lay closely against the
wall, but begun to project outward. Figures were given their own particular attitudes
instead of being set into particular patterns and are livelier and more realistic.

of your name as your subject and establish your design with Byzantine motif.
2. Transfer your design to the soap by tracing it with a carbon paper underneath.
3. Make sure the carbon paper and your design are secure so that, it will not move while tracing your
design
4. Start carving your design using sharp tools.
