Three-Dimensional Media Wrap-up
Reflect on the following discussion prompt. If you wish, please post your thoughts on Saylor's discussion forum. Leave a reply to your classmates' posts as well!
For thousands of years sculpture has (literally) been the bedrock of three-dimensional art. Carved from stone or wood, or cast in bronze, so often figurative and, from a western cultural perspective, in a realistic style.
The advent of modern art in the first half of the twentieth century has radically changed the formal characteristics of sculpture and, in some cases, the content. View the three sculptures from the links provided below and comment on the issues of form and content in each one.
- Egyptian Sculpture
- Picasso’s 'Woman in the Garden'
- Louise Bourgeois: 'Cell: Eyes and Mirrors'
