Art or Artistic refers to the
visual arts, the concept of what art is has continuously changed
over centuries. Perhaps the most concise definition is its
broadest—art refers to all creative human endeavors, excluding
actions directly related to survival and reproduction. From a wide
perspective, art is simply a generic term for any product of the
creative impulse, out of which sprang all other human pursuits —
such as science via alchemy, and religion via shamanism. The term
art offers no true definition besides those based within the
cultural, historical and geographical context in which it is
applied.
Artists deliberately or not, work under the influence of
other artists of the past and present. Much of the development of
individual artists deals with finding structured principles for how
to express certain ideas through various kinds of symbolism. For
example, Vasily Kandinsky famously developed his use of color in
painting through a system of stimulus response, where over time he
gained an understanding of the emotions that can be evoked by color
and combinations of color. Contemporary artist Andy Goldsworthy, on
the other hand, chose to use the medium of found natural objects and
materials to arrange temporary sculptures; the only record of these
sculptures brought back to the world comes in the form of a modest
photograph.
Carving The essential features of
the direct method of carving are the same; the sculptor starts with
a solid mass of material and reduces it systematically to the
desired form. After he has blocked out the main masses and planes
that define the outer limits of the forms, he works progressively
over the whole sculpture, first carving the larger containing forms
and planes and then the smaller ones until eventually the surface
details are reached. Then he gives the surface whatever finish is
required. Even with a preliminary model as a guide, the sculptor's
concept constantly evolves and clarifies as the work proceeds; thus,
as he adapts his design to the nature of the carving process and the
material, his work develops as an organic whole.
