ALL SCULTURES ARE 3 DIMENSIONAL

IMAGES WHICH SET IT APART FROM
OTHER FORMS OF VISUAL ARTS

SCULPTURE

INCLUDES THE PROCESS OF CUTTING
OR HEWING WOOD, STONE, METAL TO
MAKE A DESIRED REPRESENTATION OF
THE SUBJECT

SCULPTURE
OF ALL THE ARTS, SCULPTURE WAS THE
MOST FAMILIAR TO THE FILIPINOS. THE
CARVING OF
ANITO, IMAGES OF THE NATIVE
RELIGION, WAS REPLACED BY THE
CARVING OF SANTOS, IMAGES
OF CHRIST AND THE SAINTS

TWO TYPES OF
SCULPTURE
1. Freestanding or round if it has no background
support. It can be viewed from all sides , or
one can go around it.
2. Relief if it has a background support

PROCESS OF
SCULPTURE
• CARVING
• MODELING
• PIERCING

• CARVING

This is a process wherein the

unwanted parts are chiseled off
or cut away.
B. MODELING

This involves the making of a

negative mould and from these
copies are made known as cast.

C. PIERCING
The assembling together of all
parts to form into the actual
sculptural work.

Bust of Nefertiti, 1345 BC

This portrait has been a symbol of feminine beauty since
it was first unearthed in 1912 within the ruins of Amarna,
the capital city built by the most controversial Pharaoh of
Ancient Egyptian history: Akhenaten. The life of his
queen, Nefertiti, is something of mystery.

Michelangelo, David, 1501-1504

One of the most iconic works in all of art history,

Michelangelo’s David had its origins in a larger project to
decorate the buttresses of Florence’s great cathedral, the
Duomo, with a group of figures taken from the Old
Testament.

Duchamp, Bicycle Wheel, 1913

Bicycle Wheel is considered the first of Duchamp’s

revolutionary readymades. However, when he completed
the piece in his Paris studio, he really had no idea what to
call it. “I had the happy idea to fasten a bicycle wheel to a
kitchen stool and watch it turn,”

Yayoi Kusama, Accumulation No 1, 1962

A Japanese artist who works in multiple mediums,
Kusama came to New York in 1957 returning to Japan in
1972. Kusama’s work is often characterized by
hallucinogenic patterns and repetitions of forms, a
proclivity rooted in certain psychological conditions—
hallucinations, OCD—she’s suffered since childhood.

Andy Warhol, Brillo Box (Soap Pads), 1964

The Brillo Box is perhaps the best known of a series of sculptural works
Warhol created in the mid-’60s, which effectively took his investigation
of pop culture into three dimensions. True to the name Warhol had given
his studio—the Factory—the artist hired carpenters to work a kind of
assembly line, nailing together wooden boxes in the shape of cartons for
various products, including Heinz Ketchup, Kellogg’s Corn Flakes and
Campbell’s Soup, as well Brillo soap pads.

Louise Bourgeois, Spider, 1996

The French-born artist’s signature work, Spider was created in the mid-
1990s when Bourgeois (1911-2010) was already in her eighties. It exists
in numerous versions of varying scale, including some that are
monumental. Spider is meant as a tribute to the artist’s mother, a tapestry
restorer (hence the allusion to the arachnid's propensity for spinning
webs).
Anish Kapoor, Cloud Gate, 2006

Affectionately called “The Bean” by Chicagoans for its bent ellipsoidal

form, Cloud Gate, Anish Kapoor’s public art centerpiece for the Second
City’s Millennium Park, is both artwork and architecture, providing an
Instagram-ready archway for Sunday strollers and other visitors to the
park. Fabricated from mirrored steel, Cloud Gate’s fun-house reflectivity
and large-scale makes it Kapoor’s best-known piece.

Bonifacio Monument, Guillermo Tolentino

A group sculpture composed of numerous figures massed around a

central obelisk. The principal figure is Andres Bonifacio, leader of the
revolution against Spain in 1896. Behind him stands Emilio Jacinto, the
brains of the Katipunan. The Bonifacio Monumen t - completed in 1933
-- marked the apex of Tolentino'’s career.

PHOTOGRA
PHY
 PHOTOGRAPHY
refers to the process or practice of
creating a photograph – an image
produced by the action of light on a light-
sensitive material.

PHOTOGRAPHY
The word photograph was coined in 1839 by Sir
John Herschel and is based on the Greek word
‘phos’, meaning ‘light’, and ‘graphê’, meaning
‘drawing’ – so ‘drawing with light.

TYPES OF
PHOTOGRAPHY
• NON-DIGITAL
• DIGITAL
Non-digital photographs
- produced using a two-step chemical process: light-
sensitive film captures a negative image (colors and
lights/darks are inverted) from which a positive image can
be made by transferring the negative onto photographic
paper (printing).

Digital photographs
- led to the rise of digital prints. These prints are created
from stored graphic formats such as JPEG, TIFF, and
RAW. These can then be printed out using printers
including inkjet printers, dye-sublimation printer, laser
printers, and thermal printers

IS PHOTOGRAPHY
ART?
• Many people believed that photography
could not be art, because it was made by a
machine rather than by human creativity.
• A second view was that photography could
be useful to real artists, such as for
reference, but should not be considered as
equal to drawing and painting.
• Relating photography to established forms
like etching and lithography, felt that
photography could eventually be as
significant an art form as painting

PRO-PHOTOGRAPH
MOVEMENTS
The Pictorialist movement, begun around 1885,
pursued a particular visual aesthetic in the
creation of photographs as an art form.
Pictorialists exercised considerable artistic
control over their photographs. Some used
highly-posed subjects as in classical painting,
and carefully manipulated their images in the
darkroom to create very formal compositions.

HOW A CAMERA
WORKS
When the shutter of a camera is opened, light
passes through the lens and onto the film. The
film is covered with chemicals that create a
pattern of light on the film. This becomes the
negative

3 BASIC STYLES OF
PHOTOGRAPHY
LANDSCAPE
PORTRAIT
DOCUMENTARY

LANDSCAPE
Landscape is a photograph of the environment.
It could be the forest, mountains, oceans, or
your backyard. Ansel Adams is a famous
landscape photographer. Here is one of his
images.
 LANDSCAPE
PORTRAIT
Portrait photography is a photo of a person or
animal.

It is important to show an emotion.

PORTRAIT
What is the emotion shown in this photo?

PORTRAIT
DOCUMENTARY
Documentary photography presents facts
without changing anything.
 Good documentary photographs make you
wonder what the story is behind the photograph.

Rule of Thirds
A photo is more interesting if the subject is
NOT directly in the center. Try placing your
subject 1/3 to the left or right, or 1/3 from top or
bottom.

Rule of Thirds
Eadweard Muybridge

Jumping over boy's back (leap-frog). Plate 169 1887

Born in 1830 – around the same time that photography was invented –
Muybridge was one of the early pioneers of photography. Tate’s 2010
Muybridge exhibition explored his important contribution to the
development of photography.

Alfred Eisenstaedt - V-J Day in Times Square, 1945

At Times Square at the end of the World War II, Alfred Eisenstaedt
captured a joyous sailor holding and kissing a nurse on the street.
Capturing the jubilance people felt upon the war’s end, the image soon
became the most famous picture of the 20th century and the basis of our
collective memory of the transformative moment in the world history.

Charles C. Ebbets, Thomas Kelley and William Leftwich, Lunch

Atop A Skyscraper, 1932

11 men casually eating, chatting and sneaking a smoke as if they weren’t

840 feet above Manhattan with nothing but a thin beam keeping them
aloft. That comfort is real; the men are among the construction workers
who helped build Rockefeller Center.

Falling Man, Richard Drew, 2001

Falling Man is one of the only widely seen pictures that shows someone
dying. The photo was published in newspapers around the U.S. in the
days after the attacks, but backlash from readers forced it into temporary
obscurity.

Earthrise, William Anders, NASA, 1968

Mushroom Cloud Over Nagasaki, Lieutenant Charles Levy, 1945

Three days after an atomic bomb nicknamed Little Boy obliterated

Hiroshima, Japan, U.S. forces dropped an even more powerful weapon
dubbed Fat Man on Nagasaki. The explosion shot up a 45,000-foot-high
column of radioactive dust and debris. “The officer then shot 16
photographs of the new weapon’s awful power as it yanked the life out
of some 80,000 people in the city on the Urakami River. Six days later,
the two bombs forced Emperor Hirohito to announce Japan’s
unconditional surrender in World War II.

A Man On The Moon, Neil Armstrong, Nasa, 1969

Somewhere in the Sea of Tranquillity, the little depression in which
Buzz Aldrin stood on the evening of July 20, 1969, is still there—one of
billions of pits and craters and pockmarks on the moon’s ancient surface.
But it may not be the astronaut’s most indelible mark.

Hitler At A Nazi Party Rally, Heinrich Hoffmann, 1934

September 30, 1934, in his rigidly symmetrical photo at the Bückeberg

Harvest Festival, where the Mephistophelian Führer swaggers at the
center of a grand Wagnerian fantasy of adoring and heiling troops. By
capturing this and so many other extravaganzas, Hoffmann—who took
more than 2 million photos of his boss—fed the regime’s vast
propaganda machine and spread its demonic dream.
