Four Basic Sculpture Techniques

A

Modeling.
Carving,
Casting
Assembling.

25
Q

these sculptures are created when a soft or malleable material such
as clay, is built using an armature and then shaped to create a form.

A

Modeling

26
Q

is an additive process. An example is the portrait sculpture of Batanes-born artist Pacita Abad done by Iligan artist Julie Lluch.

A

Modeling

27
Q

legs seem to be in a pose that is "ready to go," in her clogs shoes, which is

A

Pacita

28
Q

stone, wood, or other hard material.

A

Carving

29
Q

is a subtractive process where the
material is systematically eliminated from the outside.

A

Carving

30
Q

The process calls for a
conception of the result before the work is begun.

A

Carving

31
Q

what do you call an artost that subtracts non-

A

Franco Cagayat's

33
Q

33
Q

It is durable, can be transported
without breaking, and can also be duplicated.

A

Casting

34
Q

it is when Sculptors gather and put together different materials, including found objects to create an assembled sculpture.

A

Assembling.

35
Q

is an additive process using adhesive, welding, and other chemicals for adhesion.
An example is Josephine Turalba's General Mariana.

Q

is carved from a slab of stone and is limited by the material's shape and size.

A

Monolithic Sculpture

38
Q

This means that the sculptor can only make a form that is
allowed by the material's shape and cannot exceed its size. Neither can the

sculptor produce complex open forms and shapes where arms and legs are
stretched.

A

A

41

direction and movement. these are main traits of?

A

Constructivism

42
Q

provides a method to the contemporary artist that
abandons carving, modeling, and casting. Several forms of found objects,
including "metal (wire, pipe, sheet, rod, spring, tube, bar, and plate) are put
together through a single method of attachment: welding: and a single color and
surface texture.

A

Sculptural assemblage

43
Q

and touch each other.

A

Kinetic sculpture

46
Q

They are constructed vertically to interact with the wind

and are designed to accommodate the movement of the viewers who interact
with the kinetic sculptures.

A

Kinetic sculpture

47
Q

his sculptures are set into motion by machine and generators that
