JEAN L// FORM & SPACE.......... FEWHAKO

Above is an image of a sculpture that I saw on a webpage. It caught my attention immediately because of the style of character that was sculpted. In general, I enjoy pieces that have detail within the body’s structure. This sculpture has a lot of detail and the wood was carved to make a comic book character figure. The sculptor did a great job coloring the piece along with giving the anime character a dramatic tone to compliment the figure’s stance. As a drawing, this would be hard for most to pull off the right way. This figure was carved however and then painted on. That’s amazing to me. You can see how the light bounces off the deeper creases within the character’s suit. What I like the most is the choice of weapon, the way the pants looks like pants (as if they’re actually tighter in some areas), and the upper armor. It’s just a great demonstration of how an animation can be brought to life. You can even see the actual wood at the bottom where the paint fades. Crazy.

Form and Space Finds

I came across this statue/ad in a conveinence store on my way home from school one evening. I thought it was an interesting way for them to try and promote selling alcohol considering that it is a statue of a penguin. Not many people would connect a statue of a penguin to drinking beer, so I'm not sure it is completely successful in that matter; However, the statue is placed right next to the freezer that is full of alcohol and it does grab your attention which would infact direct a customer to the freezer which would tempt that person to buy the product it was meant to sell.

Epcot ad

This ad for Epcot is simple and colorful. The large graphic and the small text balance each other out.
