attending Indiana State University‚ one of the first sculptures I took an interest in was the Via Solaris. “Via Solaris‚” Latin for the way or road of the sun. The sculpture is about 20-feet tall and made of bronze and steel. Via Solaris was created by John Van Alstine (b. 1952)‚ an American sculptor living and working in New York State best known for stone and metal abstract sculptures exhibiting exceptional balance and poise.

Artworks in the Cullen Sculpture Garden The sculptures that adorn the acre-wide Cullen Sculpture Garden are not just an exhibit. They are an experience. They are to be walked amongst‚ and viewed as they are exposed to the elements. Light‚ shadow‚ weather‚ all play a part in how they are viewed throughout the day. In essence‚ no one sees the exact same sculpture. In full light the trees still dapple the sculptures with shadow. Metallic sculptures cast dark shadows. The steel sculptures especially challenged

The three-dimensional and long-lasting qualities contribute to the wide use of sculpture as a cultural expression of the beliefs and ideals

through about two dozen different galleries‚ I finally found the sculpture of Virgin and Child. She stands on a pedestal totaling approximately 6 feet tall‚ but the sculpture alone is only about half the height. There is a placard on the pedestal citing historical information. The sculpture is French Gothic and is made from marble. She was sculpted somewhere between the years 1325 and 1350. It is also noted that the sculpture is part of the Samuel H Kress Collection‚ I assume this means he is

It is to be acknowledged that this piece was created and rendered in only 2 days. "The digital sculpture was executed to a very tight schedule‚ going from start to final rendered image in two days!"(Eaton 1).- Something to note is that in digital media there is no gravity or real light‚ meaning he created his own glass‚ lit it himself and made the

Statement I wait patiently as my fellow students’ eyes move around my sculpture‚ scanning it‚ trying to figure out what does and does not fit. Standing alongside my work‚ I gaze around the room at their tired faces. I cannot help but feel like I am on display‚ as well as my art.

Renaissance‚ Donatello created a sculpture of David by recreating a scene from the Bible. As time passed Michelangelo created a newer version of David that wasn’t so youthful and had more detail than Donatello’s David.

All of these sculptures were acceptable in the time in which they were created but as time went by people’s preferences had changed and so had the purpose of the sculptures.
