Door Carver as designer and as
craftsman. Carving.. Whatever material is used, 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.
Door Carving The process of direct carving imposes a
characteristic order on the forms of sculpture. The faces of the
original block, slab, or cylinder of material can usually still be
sensed, existing around the finished work as a kind of implied
spatial envelope limiting the extension of the forms in space and
connecting their highest points across space. In a similar way,
throughout the whole carving, smaller forms and planes can be seen
as contained within implied larger ones. Thus, an ordered sequence
of containing forms and planes, from the largest to the smallest,
gives unity to the work.
Door Design In the context of the
applied arts, engineering, architecture and other such creative
endeavors, design is both a noun and a verb. The verb is the process
of originating and developing a plan for an aesthetic and functional
object, which usually requires considerable research, thought,
modeling, iterative adjustment and re-design. The noun is used both
for the final plan of action, or the result of following that plan
of action. |
