Chapter 9.1 Sculpting Theory Flashcards
The 3 different levels of observation used for analyzing hair sculpture are?
Basic Form, Detail in Texture, Abstract Structure Created.
What is hair sculpting?
The artistic carving or removing of hair lengths.
Form Line
The outer boundary or silhouette shape.
Inactivated texture is?
Smooth unbroken lines where end of hair strand is not visible.
Activated Texture is?
Broken lines and exposed hair strands
Structure is the lengths across the _______?
Curves of the head.
True or false: A structure graphic is a diagram that provides an abstract view of the length arrangement to scale and proportion.
True.
What is Natural Fall?
The length or level to which the hair falls on the anatomy over the curves of the head . Allows analysis of surface appearance.
What is Normal Projection?
When the hair is viewed abstractly (straight out from head) at a a 90 degree. Angle from various points of the head.
What are the Four Basic Forms of Design?
Solid, Graduated, Increase-Layer, Uniform-Layer.
Solid Form.
- AKA “One length cut, Bob , Dutch boy, blunt cut.
- Shorter exterior to longer interior.
- Max weight develops at the form line since all lengths fall at one length.
- Shape is rectangle, Texture is Unactivated, color code is blue.
Graduated Form.
- AKA “Wedge cut, or 45 degree angle cut”
- Shorter exterior gradually progressing to longer interior
- Weight is found above the perimeter line and the shape is triangle
- Texture is activated and unactivated, color code is yellow.
Increased Layered Form.
- AKA “Shagg, 180 degree angle cut.
- Structure is shorter Interior progressing to longer interior
- No concentrated weight once lengths disperse
- Shape is oval, Texture is activated and color code is red.
Uniformly Layered Form
- AKA “Layered cut, 90 degree angle cut”.
- Same length throughout with no concentrated weight.
- Shape is circular, texture is activated and color code is green
Gradation means shorter exterior gradually progress to longer interior lengths and generally _______?
Combined with other forms.
Weight is created by the ________ __________ _______ within the given areas.
Concentration of length
Combination Forms are?
Increase/Solid , Increased/Uniform/Graduated, Uniform/Graduated, Uniform/Increase, Graduation/Uniform/Gradation, Square (Rectilinear) Form
Increase solid
Illusion of an activated surface appearance with maximum perimeter weight. ( Red and Blue )
Increase/Uniform/Gradated
Close fitting contour; fringe creates height and fullness. (Red Green Yelow )
Uniform/Gradated
Lengths blend for a totally activated surface texture ( Green and Yellow)
Uniform/Increase
Highly activated surface and elongation toward the perimeter ( Green and Red )
Graduation/Uniform/Gradation
Close fitting exterior blends to uniformly layered lengths; graduated interior lengths achieve a focal point toward the face. ( Yellow, Gree, Yellow )
Square ( Rectilinear ) Form
Weight area is created where increase layering meets the graduated form ( red and Yellow.
Shears are also AKA
Straight shears that use precision and detailed sculpting, long or short w/ 2 straight blades.
Parts of shears.
Shank, finger brace, tension screw, moveable blade, thumb grip, still blade. Finger grip.
Palm down position
Used for blunt cut or 0 degree solid form
Palm up position
Used for diagonal for ward lines
Palm to palm position
Used for diagonal back and graduated lengths
On top of finger position
Used for sculpting lengths on top of the head
Taper shears are AKA
Thinning shears with 1 straight and 1 notche blade, used to reduce bulk
Razors may be used to
Sculpt entire form or to texturize.
Parts of a razor are Blade guard, shoulder, shank, _____________?
Blade edge, tang, Handle
Hair should always be wet throughout when sculpting ___?
With a razor
Foldable razor should be held….
With handle positioned straight out while sculpting with thumb at bottom of shank and place other fingers on top.
Nonfoldable razor should be held…….
Position thumb in thumb groove and other fingers on top
Clippers
Move in a side to side motion. Come with clippers and attachments.
Parts of clippers are..
Adjustable Blade Lever, Adjustable Stationary, Moveable Blade, Guard.
Shampoo comb is used to
Detangle wet hair in preparation fro hair sculpture
Master Sketcher
Used for controlling or distributing larger amounts of hair as well as for the clipper over comb and shear over comb
Sculpting comb
Has fine and wide teeth for distribution when working with medium sized sections of hair
taper comb
Taper/Contour/Barber allows sculpting close to scalp , can also be positioned against skin.
Seven Sclulpting Procedures.
1 Section. 2 Position Head. 3 part. 4 Distribute. 5 Project. 6. Position Fingers/Shears. 7 Sculpt design line
Sculpting head in an
Upright position achieves the most natural result
Sculpting head in a forward position.
produces head lengths that are shorter in the nape and longer surface lengths , slight under bevel
Sculpting hair in a
Tilted position also used to refine form line.
What are the 6 common parting lines?
Horizontal, Diagonal Back, Concave, Diagonal Forward, Vertical Convex
Concave
When lines curve inward like a sphere
