Sculptures and Textures

A Bronze Statue of the Hindu Deitie Ganesh,5th Century AD, Artist Unknown, India

Ganesh is the good of domestic harmony and sucsess, Ganesh is also prayed to first in all Hindu ceremonies. The artist of this particular piece seems to make his textures by using every small defined tools like a small point I do not know how do that because my back round in terra cotta. They most likely used a small pointy tool to carve out each symbol very slowly. The crown probably required the most work it does not seem all carved but molded as well the pants however are carved more.

3-D sculptures

Tom Otterness, New York- Large Covered Wagon, 2007

I like this piece the most of all the other pieces i have seen. I enjoy this peace because it looks so comical like the steer wearing boots. I think this makes the sculpture better, because I think art cannot only be flowers and sad people sometimes it needs to look like a kids book. Another thing that is appeling is the simple work that is done. It is cool how he does not go all out of this woman's face but instead goes simply into the iconic smiley face.

older and newer paintings

Puss and Boots- Walter Wick-2006-U.S.A.

Scottish-1848

Both a very similar in the way the artisits show the sky. The artisits also have their paintings seem very magical. A very cool aspect is also how the castles are not in your face but they are shown farthur away from ur view and the way both painting use leading lines somewhat to come up to the castels.

Both are very different however since the more modern one the colors are much brighter which makes it feel magic while the older painting resembles a layout for a architect.
