Type of Relief : Haute "High"

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.

Type of Relief: Sunken
Title of artwork: Unknown, but it depicts a Pharoah with his unpaid servants.
Material: Stoney walls of an underground temple.
Location: Temple of Kom Ombo, Luxor, Egypt
Name of the artist: Artist who worked for Amenhotep III
The idea behind the artwork: Ancient Egyptian art displays a vivid representation of the Egyptian’s lifestyle, spiritual rituals and belief systems. The artists weren’t concerned with representing the world with any realism or having a sense of depth in their art. The Egyptian art was primarily concerned, above all, with ensuring the continuity of the universe, the gods, the king and the people.The artists therefore depicted things not as they saw them but as idealized symbols intended to be more significant and enduring than was otherwise possible in the real world.

Title of the artwork: Death and the Sculptor
Materials used to create: bronze
Location: Boston, Massachusetts
Name of the artist: Daniel Chester French
Idea behind the artwork: The work was commissioned to mark the grave in of the brothers Joseph, James and Martin Milmore. The Milmore brothers immigrated to the United States from Ireland in 1851, Joseph becoming a stone carver and Martin a sculptor. They frequently collaborated on commissions, the most notable one being the granite Sphinx (1873) that resides in Mount Auburn Cemetery. French's memorial, commissioned in 1889 and dedicated in 1893, depicts the Angel of Death gently taking the hand of a sculptor, or stone carver who is working on a sphinx figure very much like the one the brothers created.[3]

Title: Seated Figure Censer (Incensario)
Materials Used: Ceramic
Location: Guatemala, Mesoamerica
Name of Artist: Mayan Culture
Idea Behind Artwork: Censers, or incensarios, have been discovered in a wide range of contexts, from the steps of temples to cave interiors, indicative of the importance of burning rituals in ancient Mesoamerica. It is thought that billowing clouds of smoke, produced by the burning of copal incense, accompanied every major ceremony in the Maya realm. Depicted on the censer illustrated here is a seated figure, perhaps a ruler, surrounded by aspects of mythological creatures that are stacked about his head and symmetrically flank his sides. The central figure is in higher relief, sitting cross-legged with arms carefully positioned in front of his chest. The position of the hands, held inward and touching, is known from sculpted stone monuments, where it carries connotations of rulership. A human head or masklike element is depicted in the figure's lap. The figure may represent a generalized concept of revered ancestor.

Title of the artwork: Sappho

Materials used to create: Marble

Location: New York City

Name of Artist: Erastus Dow Palmer

Idea behind the artwork:  In the mid-1800s, many artists, including Palmer, were part of the neoclassicism movement, which centered around appreciating and taking inspiration from the art, culture, literature, and language of ancient antiquity.  Palmer imitates both the style and subject matter of ancient Greek sculpture; many of his fellow neoclassicists would have recognized Sappho as an Greek poet who lived around 600 BC.

Materials used to create: Bronze.
Location: Canadian War Museum.
Name of artist: Wood, Francis Derwent.
Idea behind the artwork: During the Second Battle of Ypres, rumours circulated that a Canadian soldier had been crucified on a Belgian barn door, a story the Germans denounced as propaganda. Whether truth or fiction, Canada's Golgotha illustrates the intensity of wartime myths and imagery. The crucifixion remains unproven.

Title of Artwork: Bindi
Materials used to create: Clay and Canvas
Name of Artist: Dr Franky Dolan
Idea behind the artwork:
"I am Bindi. As my eyes close, my third eye begins to see. I kiss the tip of my finger and point to the stars. The wet of my lips create a bond to hold a star, which calls my name. She calls me mother. I pull my hand back down and there my third eye can see the child who will now begin inside of me. She enters between my eyes, lighting imagination; gliding down my throat, she inspires song; she drips into my heart, stirring the milk to supple my breasts; and finally she lands in my soul, that place where I felt her all along......
I am Bindi, and I am the mother for all. When you need me, point to the stars and call."

location:Amenhotep III Representation at Karnak Temple Complex, Luxor

The extent to which the ancient history of Egypt was recorded by their artists is remarkable. Ancient Egyptian art displays a vivid representation of the Egyptian’s lifestyle, spiritual rituals and belief systems. The artists weren’t concerned with representing the world with any realism or having a sense of depth in their art. The Egyptian art was primarily concerned, above all, with ensuring the continuity of the universe, the gods, the king and the people.The artists therefore depicted things not as they saw them but as idealized symbols intended to be more significant and enduring than was otherwise possible in the real world.

Many of the fundamentals of Egyptian art were established at the very beginning of Egyptian history and changed little over time. Subject matter also remained relatively unchanged over long periods of time. However, Egyptian art did not remain completely static over the three thousand years of pharaonic history. Despite the limited repertory of subject matter, Egyptian artists valued variation and avoided producing exact copies of the same forms. Essentially though the human figure was a composite with the face, limbs, waist and buttocks shown in profile, while the chest and shoulders were in full view facing the viewer as were one eye and an eyebrow.

Title of the artwork: Little Ida

Materials used to create: Marble

Location: The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 762

Name of Artist: Charles Calverley

Idea behind the artwork: In a 1908 interview Calverley recalled the subject of this naturalistic relief and the circumstances of its production. He met Ida at a summer hotel while she tended a boy whose portrait he was modeling, and noticed the "string of alabaster beads around her long neck, and large red ear-drops." Calverley included anecdotal touches in this portrait, including the curls of hair escaping from her knotted scarf, the unbuttoned collar, and the slight twist of the necklace. A prominent portraitist in Reconstruction-era New York, Calverley also produced likenesses of Abraham Lincoln and the radical abolitionist John Brown. In 1899 he revised Ida’s portrait to include the inscription "The Race John Brown Died For," a testament to Brown’s legacy.
