The Different Faces of Sculpture
By Maria Veronica Buenaventura Co-Author: Nikka Real
There are different ways to indicate or exhibit the
talents and skills or a person. Talents and skills are
inborn capabilities. It is already innate in a person to
be artistic. There are different genres of arts that
show the amazing and remarkable abilities of a person.
Sculpture is one of the most famous forms of art.
Although painting and sketching are more popular
compared to sculpture, it has gained the respect of
several people who knows how to appreciate such
creations.
There are different types of sculptures. The type of
sculpture will depend on the material that has been used
to create or form an object. During the early years the
most basic type of material used to create sculptures
are giant stones. The outcome of that material will then
depend on the abilities and imaginations of the artists.
It is very difficult to create an artistic material out
of a giant stone because of its nature. Giant stones are
very much complicated to handle and only expert
sculpture artists have the abilities to use this kind of
material in creating remarkable objects.
Meanwhile mud is also used is sculpture. Beginners of
this type of art prefer to use mud instead of giant
stones because mud is easier to use. They no longer need
to control and manage the force that they are going to
apply to the material since mud is a soft material. They
will then use their hands in molding anything that they
wish to create instead of using a chisel. However this
activity still requires the attention and the unique
imaginations of a person. Only few people excel in this
type of career because only true artists know how to
create and appreciate the simple edges of art.
Nowadays, wood are also used to create such creations.
On the other hand, the process of creating things out of
wood became more popular as wood curving. It is the
process of tracing the wood using chisels. It is also
represented in a two-dimensional view which only shows
the height and length of the created object. Wood
curving is now declared and considered different from
sculpture.
Moreover sculpture artists are very much known for their
patience and precision when it comes to this field.
Unfortunately, not all individuals are given the talents
and skills to become a great sculpture. Several people
adored this kind of art because of its elegance. Most of
the models of sculptures are presidents and even heroes.
Although sculpture is an old tradition of the society,
it is still considered as one of the oldest methods of
expressing the ideas and thoughts of the artists.
Sculpture artists are even considered as gifted
individuals because of their ability to create a
magnificent representation of something out of a stone
or a mud. Sculptures have also helped several historians
and even anthropologists on their search about the
history of the world. They often believe that sculptures
are the living proof of the past civilization. It is
also the evidence that humans are very much inclined
when it comes to art.
Art is essential. It is the window for your soul to
express your entire feelings. It has a different
approach of expressing your views and opinions.
