Title of the artwork: Madonna of Bruges
Materials used to create: marble
Location : Church of Our Lady Bruges in Bruges, Belgium

Idea Behind the Artwork : Michelangelo's depiction of the Madonna and Child differs significantly from earlier representations of the same subject, which tended to feature a pious Virgin smiling down on an infant held in her arms. Instead, Jesus stands upright, almost unsupported, only loosely restrained by Mary's left hand, and appears to be about to step away from his mother and into the world.

Title: Crazy Horse Memorial
Materials Used: Granite
Location: Thunderhead Mountain, Crazy Horse, South Dakota
Name of Artist: Korczak Ziolkowski
Idea behind the artwork: When the carving of Mount Rushmore began, the Lakota tribe objected highly because the Black Hills, by treaty, belonged to them. Chief Henry Standing Bear reached out to the artist of Mount Rushmore and asked him to assist them in creating their own monument. Crazy Horse was a Lakota war hero who fought and died battling the US government at the turn of the 19th century. The monument started work in 1948, and even after the artist's death, work on the monument still continues today.

Title: Mount Rushmore
Materials: Granite
Location: Southwestern South Dakota
Name of Artist(s): Gutzon & Lincoln Borglum
History: The original idea for Mount Rushmore was to create a monument to the famous Lakota Indian leader Red Cloud, but that was not grand enough or Anglo Saxon enough for Borglum, who successfully pushed for a tribute to America's four exalted presidents. Carving into the Western mountains fit that framework.

Name of Artwork: Saline Royale
Type of Relief: Haute/High
Material: Salt Rock probably, I don't know it's hard to find a definitive or even vague answer.
Location: The Saline Royale or Royal Saltworks at Arc-et-Senans
Name of Artist: Claude-Nicolas Ledoux
Idea behind the artwork: The place used to be a salt factory so the piece evokes the idea of the salty water that flowed in and around the place while it was still active and operational. I'm not sure if this sculpture was always a part of the building or not, it's hard to find information on this specific piece as opposed to the whole building.

Type of relief: Sunken
Title of the artwork: The god Thoth
Materials used: Granite, sandstone, calcite, schist, and clay.
Location: Luxor, Egypt
Name of artist: Since it was so long ago(1400 BCE), it is unknown who carved it but in ancient Egypt, it was known to have relatives, friends, and even local carvers who did the work. Sunken relief sculptures were a sacred thing to their culture to remember the deceased, in this case, the god Thoth.
Idea behind the artwork: After the god Thoth passed away, it was known in the ancient Egyptian culture to make sunken carvings to honor their life and their past. They usually do this in the rooms where the gods were buried in. These rooms would be very fancy from obtaining expensive objects, jewelry, clothing, a lot of expensive items, and a lot of artwork on the walls and usually a big artwork frame honoring the one who passed.

Title of the artwork: Standing Her Ground
Materials used: Waterbased clay
Location: Colorado
Name of artist: lori kiplinger
Idea behind the artwork: "By averting her gaze to one side, I imbue this girl with a sense of being strong in her convictions but without the feeling that she is being defiant against the viewer. I think that is a strong distinction - giving the work a feeling of empowerment and strength. In this work of art the bear is a metaphor for this young girl taking a stand in her life and the thistle is a symbol of strength."

Materials: Granite
Location: Southwestern South Dakota
Name of artist: Gutzon&Lincoln Borgulm
The idea behind the artwork:
Native nations have also taken issue with the way Mount Rushmore told their story—and that of U.S. expansion. Borglum had envisioned the site as a shrine to the greatness of the four presidents it depicted and as a result, Hill says, the memorial became “a space for uncomplicated patriotism.”

Title of the artwork: Sky Cathedral

Materials used to create: Wood

Location: New York City

Name of Artist: Louise Nevelson

Idea behind the artwork: Nevelson’s wall sculptures have an architectural scale and dramatic impact that suited the artist’s grand personality. The artist liked black paint because it conjured ​“totality, peace and greatness.” Here, the light gently picks up the spectral outlines of the fragmented objects to create an elusive handwriting across the velvety black field. Sky Cathedral evokes what Nevelson called ​“the heavenly spheres, the places between the land and the sea” lying beyond our experience of ordinary things.
