Some interesting sculptural projects in a range of unusual media

Follow the links to the artists' sites


How does an artist's choice of medium impact upon the final outcome?

Prior to Duchamp & Picasso. most sculptors used ceramics, carved stone, bone, plaster or wood and cast metal to express their ideas. Now available media might include frozen blood, vaseline, waste products, sharks and formaldehyde, condoms, old tights, kebabs, cigarette ends, used engine oil, the artist's own body....

Or in this case - the artist Gianni Motti presents a bar of soap that he claims is made from fat that was liposuctioned from Silvio Berlusconi:

What happens to all of those
St George's IB artists
after they leave F floor?

Of course many go on to Foundation courses as well as degrees in Fine Art, Vehicle Design, Toy Design, Textiles, Fashion Design, Illustration, Film, Photography, Video, Book Design, Architecture, Theatre and TV Design, Interior Design - to name but a few...

But then what?

Some become painters, fashion stylists, photographers, designers, sculptors, or may even use their artistic talents to help others. Here are a few examples from recent years:

I have been looking at free, web-based alternatives to
Photoshop.

Aviary is a collection of programmes that
allow you to explore image and sound editing.

The kaleidoscope image above was created in my
first couple of minutes playing around with
Peacock. It's very different to most image manipulation
software so do watch the demo video first.

Phoenix on the other hand is a much more straight forward
Photoshop clone that features layers.
