14	The research and development of multi-purpose forms and vessels Waddle, Robert L. January 2001 (has links) This creative project consisted of the artist creating various box forms that were to house treasures that were considered special to the artist or the viewer. His childhood memories and his appreciation of streamline design heavily influenced him. Metal is one of the hardest materials to form and shape but the artist was able to create soft edges and curved forms by using his past experience with the material. He experimented with various surface techniques from patinas to sandblasting and polishing to create the appearance he desired in each piece. By combining wood and metal he created successful works that worked well together forming relationships between the two and were visually stimulating. He was able to create boxes within boxes with hidden compartments that could hide special treasures. This project proved to be a success for the artist, not only did he learn more about the building techniques and develop new surface treatments, but he designed and created the pieces he had envisioned at the beginning artistic career. / Department of Art Boxes.

15	Os processos de fundição, como ferramenta na obtenção de esculturas em metal Giuliano, Jose Antonio Schenini January 2008 (has links) Este trabalho tem como foco central a investigação de possibilidades de obtenção de peças metálicas, na forma de esculturas, por fundição, com vazamento por gravidade e que tenham como característica formal uma geometria complexa. Na interface interdisciplinar entre Arte e Engenharia, o estudo aborda a técnica de fundição por cera perdida e suas características, os materiais envolvidos nos processos de construção do modelo e do molde, e a realização prática de peças fundidas. Através do fazer, da aplicação das técnicas de fundição, da construção de um relato de experiências e das reflexões geradas a partir da análise dos resultados, o texto procura estabelecer a viabilidade da aplicação das técnicas de fundição por cera perdida, em atelier de escultura, com propósitos artísticos. / The following work has as its central focus the investigation of possibilities in the attainment of metallic pieces, in the form of sculptures, through foundry with filling by gravity and a complex geometry as their formal characteristic. In the interdisciplinary interface between Art and Engineering, the study approaches the lost wax foundry technique and its characteristics, as well as the materials involved in the processes of construction of the model and the mold and the practical accomplishment of the foundry pieces. The text attempts to establish the viability of the employment of the foundry techniques of lost wax through the execution, the application of the foundry techniques, the elaboration of a report of experiences and the thoughts generated from the analysis of the results in a sculpture studio with artistic purposes.

18	George Tsutakawa's fountain sculptures of the 1960s: fluidity and balance in postwar public art. Cuthbert, Nancy Marie 20 August 2012 (has links) Between 1960 and 1992, American artist George Tsutakawa (1910 – 1997) created more than sixty fountain sculptures for publicly accessible sites in the U.S., Canada, and Japan. The vast majority were made by shaping sheet bronze into geometric and organically inspired abstract forms, often arranged around a vertical axis. Though postwar modernist artistic production and the issues it raises have been widely interrogated since the 1970s, and public art has been a major area of study since about 1980, Tsutakawa's fountains present a major intervention in North America's urban fabric that is not well-documented and remains almost completely untheorized. In addition to playing a key role in Seattle's development as an internationally recognized leader in public art, my dissertation argues that these works provide early evidence of a linked concern with nature and spirituality that has come to be understood as characteristic of the Pacific Northwest. Tsutakawa was born in Seattle, but raised and educated primarily in Japan prior to training as an artist at the University of Washington, then teaching in UW's Schools of Art and Architecture. His complicated personal history, which in World War II included being drafted into the U.S. army, while family members were interned and their property confiscated, led art historian Gervais Reed to declare that Tsutakawa was aligned with neither Japan nor America – that he and his art existed somewhere in-between. There is much truth in Reed's statement; however, artistically, such dualistic assessments deny the rich interplay of cultural allusions in Tsutakawa's fountains. Major inspirations included the Cubist sculpture of Alexander Archipenko, Himalayan stone cairns, Japanese heraldic emblems, First Nations carvings, and Bauhaus theory. Focusing on the early commissions, completed during the 1960s, my study examines the artist's debts to intercultural networks of artistic exchange – between North America, Asia, and Europe – operative in the early and mid-twentieth century, and in some cases before. I argue that, with his fountain sculptures, this Japanese American artist sought to integrate and balance such binaries as nature/culture, intuition/reason, and spiritual/material, which have long served to support the construction of East and West as opposed conceptual categories. / Graduate George Tsutakawa American modernism modern design silicon bronze sculpture welded sheet metal sculpture West Coast modernism Pacific Northwest Seattle public art Century 21 Fulton Mall postwar shopping center design Asian American art World War II Japanese internment Nisei Kibei machine aesthetic abstract art spirituality in art Lawrence Halprin environmentalism in art International Style architecture postwar urban planning Ala Moana Center Northgate Shopping Center Zen in America Bauhaus in America Walter Gropius Victor Gruen Mark Tobey Japanese American Henry Moore Sigfried Giedion Lewis Mumford Alexander Archipenko Paul Horiuchi Johsel Namkung Dudley Carter Freeway Park, Seattle Bentall Centre, Vancouver Seattle Public Library secondary Orientalism organicism in art modernist architecture
