Karl Hagenauer


After searching and researching I finally found a sculptor that depicts, in his work what it is that I am trying to capture in my work. Karl Hagenauer is the sculpture from which I will now draw my inspiration. Simple figures performing various tasks, showing the movement of the verb, showing the action of what it is that people do. I will be creating the movements of a single stroke that a rower takes in order to row.  

Pablo Picasso: Simplicity


                                                  Pablo Picasso, Visage, 1959



I will be replicating this idea of simplicity with different graphics, which will tell story about Peru. I will continue to make my dinner set out of clay and possibly a pitcher. Picasso used very vivid colors on his work, I will try my best to illustrate and decorate the dinner set in various colors. 


Michelabgelo and drapery

Leah by Michelangelo


Leah by Michelangelo. This was presented with a couple other sculptures. What I like about this is the drapery that is shown along with the anatomical elements shinning through the clothing. I hope to emulate something similar to this drapery in my project.

Bernini


Apollo and Daphne by Bernini is a life sized marble sculpture made for Cardinal Scipione depicting the nymph Daphne being turned into a laurel tree, pursued in vain by Apollo God of the sun. I chose this scukpture because I love the detail and emotions being expressed through his work as well as the metamorphosis that is occurring as the woman is transforming into a tree.

The Circus

Alex Calder was very well known for his miniature circus that he created. To take from this work I will be creating my own miniature lab bench, which is kinda like a circus if you ask me. The lab materials will be made of wire, and the lab bench will be made of clay.

Dinner party by Judy Chicago

My final installation will be very similar to one of the tables.
I am choosing to replicate the artist arneson. For my piece i will make 6 bottles each with a different body part showing the 5 senses. I will encase them inside of my head which arneson did alot of
