Sculpture and Installation Refers to artwork with length, width, and DEPTH Is said to have the longest history of any art form. Partly attributed to the fact that materials and techniques used now were unaccepted or unheard of a century ago.
Sculpture and Installation: 4 Processes: Modeling Assembling Carving Casting
“Additive” processes: Modeling Most “direct” method of sculpting The benefit is that it is easy to test methods before committing- can be re-worked indefinitely. <Sand Sculptors Celebrate Transient Art> Assembling Pieces or segments are joined together Use of welding, soldering, gluing, taping or other attachment methods <Sculptures from Spare Parts: Typewriter Assemblage – YouTube>
“Subtractive” process: Carving Considered a more “aggressive” form of art Common materials of wood and stone, but can also include clay, plaster, and a wide variety of other materials <How It's Made: Carved Wood Structures : Video : Science Channel >
<How It's Made Bronze Sculptures - YouTube> “Molding” process: Casting Indirect form of creating a sculpture Sometimes the sculptor never touches the final piece Less fear of breaking due to the durability of the materials Common materials of metal and fiberglass <How It's Made Bronze Sculptures - YouTube>
