Scuplture Texture

unknown.jpg

Title: Standing Buddha offering Protection

Sculptor: Unknown

Substance: Red Sandstone

Time: Late 5th century

Area: India

How texture is used: Texture here is used to show the different articles of clothing and changes between substances like hair and skin. 

Why and where are different textures: The three textures are the knobbly ones on the head, the smooth skin and the wavy clothes. These textures are used to define the hair skin and cloths apart from each other. The knobbly hair because that his how the hair looked, smooth skin because the skin is the smoothest of the textures and finally the wavy clothes to show the clothes. The clothes may not have been wavy, but this is a good way to make the clothes look.

Sculpture


Title: Man on a Bench
Sculptor: Duane Hanson
Time: 1997-1998
Area: ????
Story: The story is of a man who is sitting on a bench waiting for something.
Choices that help tell the story: It is made in the  "Hyper-real" style. This makes the sculpture look real my first thought when seeing this was it was a picture of a man sitting on a bench with a manila envelope in his hand. This choice makes the story seem very real. Also the man's expression is a very tired which makes it seem like he has been waiting for a very long time and just wants to sleep. After looking at it  for a very long time some of the things like the shape of his right hand and some of the shadows are wrong and I can tell it is wrong.

PS. Sorry it is up late i didn't realize i didn't post it on monday i was sick

Family/Changes over time

Title: The Griffon Family
Artist: Seth Macfarlane
Time: 2005
Country: USA


Title: Charles IV of Spain and his Family
Artist: Fransico Goya
Country: Spain
Time: 1800-1801


Differences: In the First the family is fighting and arguing. In the Second the family is orderly and polite looking.  In the first there are people fighting, scolding and being oblivious. The second is orderly neat  and presentable the all know what is happening and are in their best clothes for the occasion. In the first there are people in their messy whatever cloths and in play clothes clearly not wanting to be there.
Vision: In both the artists are trying to portray a family, one is trying to portray an accurate family and one is trying to show a family as it should be. In the first the family is as they always are, while the second does what people at the time thought they always were. 
My mistake I mixed up the assignments but I think this can still count for both of them if not please tell me
