Modeling uses materials such as clay or wax to create different forms. Casting is the process of pouring liquid material such as bronze or resin into a mold and allowing it to harden. Carving uses wood to create different sculptures by cutting the wood using special tools. Assembling is when distinct elements are grouped together to create a sculpture. Along with the different sculpting methods the type of material used is important.

    During his appointment with Art, Pavel the therapist states that, “[M]aybe it’s better not to have any more stories” (Spiegelman 45) in response to Art’s troubles regarding the creation of Maus II. In a sense, this statement about the Holocaust is valid due to the fact that the only stories individuals will ever get to read are of those who were able to survive. As Pavel had also stated, “Life always takes the side of life, and somehow the victims are blamed” (Spiegelman 45), showing that, in all of the stories surrounding the Holocaust, individuals never get to hear the stories of those who perished. As a result, every single story surrounding the Holocaust will technically always be the same because it will almost always be a story of a survivor…

The year that Giampietrino painted this picture was in 1520. Another work of art that I will be writing about will be The Last supper by Francesco Fontebasso. He painted this picture in 1762 using oil on canvas. As you can see from both types of arts, that they were both painted on oil on canvas and both have the same subject matter which is the last supper that Jesus Christ had. To both of these painting’s in person, you can go to the Royal academy of Arts in London to see the Giampietrino piece and Fontebasso’s piece is found in Museum Fund of the State Hermitage in St Petersburg.…
