DIFFERENCE OF PAINTING

PAINTING SCULPTURE
- Two-dimensional art - Three-
dimensional art
- Relies on pigment - Actual form
for its completion space and
texture
ELEMENTS
SUBJECT
- tells what the sculpture is all about.
- best avenue an artist can express his
idea/emotion.
- it varies depending on the period a man exists.
MEDIUM
-material used by the artist in the completion
of his work.

Example: marble, wood, metal, clay
TEXTURE

-it is always a prerogative of the artist.

SPACE

PROCESS OF CREATION
SUBTRACTION
- The artist, using his chisels, hammers, deducts parts
from the medium to form a designed image with perfect lines
and angles.

EXAMPLE: carving of stone and wood

ADDITION
- The construction of a figure by putting
together bits of clay or by welding together metal
parts to create an image.

COMBINED MATERIALS
-This method happens when a combination of small pieces
of materials such as plastic or moist clay is worked and modeled into
desired form which may then be subjected to intense heat to produce
a ceramic known as teracotta. Wire, rods and plates may also be
combined by soldering or welding.

a life after death.

important persons or temple of
powerful rulers.

pyramids of giza
THE SPHINX
The most colossal sculpture of the
ancient world is the Egyptian
sphinx. The great lion with a human
face is carved from the centre of a
limestone quarry, after the tons of
stone which once surrounded it
have been hacked and dragged away
to form the greatest of the three
nearby pyramids, that of the
pharaoh Khufu. The sphinx lies
guarding the pyramids at Giza. Its
face is believed to bear the features
of Khafre, son of Khufu, whose own
pyramid is only slightly more
modest than that of his father.
