For my Final Work I would like to do a futuristic piece, so an artwork that has speed and velocity. The artwork would represent the Theme: Human Body and the Society as it will be linked to the time of that period, when everything was starting to move on again and people were eager to live their lives. Futurism is a very nice artistic movement that I am very interested in, also because I have always done stationary artworks, never moving ones.

Animation aspect: there are many artists, who don't fall under the usual paint, pencil and paper group, but still create 2D works. They take use of the modern technology (or maybe not) to bring life to their drawings. Such artists are the very famous Walt Disney (Mickey Mouse), Bob Clampett (Bugs Bunny) and Max Fleischer (Popeye and Betty Boop). For the human, my artist of influence was Keith Haring.

For my final project, i want to make a monkey making a tool because it resembles a human working and how they act in a type of way. (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/monkeys-make-stone-ldquo-tools-rdquo-that-bear-a-striking-resemblance-to-early-human-artifacts/)

For my final project I will be inspired by the artist Alphonse Mucha and use his style in my drawing. I am still not sure about what I am going to depict.

My idea for my final project is to do a drawing, using the style of some modern illustrators (especially eastern and Japanese illustrators) to combine with animation's style, to achieve the romantic and lively feeling in those 2D animations.

I want to create a little sculpture out of clay creating a human body yet not too detailed and making it look a bit abstract with the color and pattern to bring in the cultural. I am going into the same category as Niki de Saint Phalle. Another artist is Botero, they both focus on how beauty standards are still a thing and try to use different body types through their art

My idea was to make a sacrifice table thing from the Aztecs as a way to show how much, they believed, the human body was appreciated by the gods. This also incorporates history into my work. The table will be made from boxes of cardboard with paper over it then painted so it looks like stone, with red paint to symbolize dry blood.

For my final project I want to create a mask (not the ones we wear to not get sick) out of brown paper, using glue to put it together and then painting it. The masks I want to recreate are called Vejigantes and they are a cultural aspect of Puerto Rico. These masks are very colourful and abstract, which is something typical of the Puerto Rican culture. I will be attempting to re create one of these masks with my own design.

I will take a mask of bird. It looks similar to masks of plague doctors. They were popular in 17th century and their purpose was to protect doctors from deadly smells (which caused plague by old beliefs). I would like to try and paint it in russian gzhel style.

For my final project I would like to paint something on a canvas and I would like to focus it on African scarring. For the scars I would like to sew them on so they are more prominent in the painting.

for my final project i wanted to take a picture of a sculpture with different objects and foods.
I will try to make the different objects look like a person, either a head, face or some other body shape. I will try to work with different types of food that come from different countries and that are also used in different cultures

Alex

2020-12-11 08:46:13 UTC

My first idea is to focus on ancient cultures like the Zulu, Chinese, Aztec, and the Roman. I will focus on their religious sacrifices because that's what makes these cultures unique. Thez were sacrificing animals and also humans.

I want to make an incense holder.
Since we have to make it about human form and culture together. I could make a woman sitting

For my final project i want to design a Sak yant tattoo, a Sak yant tatoo is a sort of religious tattoo it came from Southeast Asia. Each of those tattoos has a meaning behind it. The tattoos use Indian Yantra designs, sacred geometrical, animal and deity designs with Pali phrases that are told to offer power, protection, fortune and many other benefits for life. Tourists who visit Thailand and other Southeastern Countries often get those traditional tattoos. For my personal designed tattoo i will not be creating an image of a big animal like a tiger because i want to focus on human form and how the body can be cultural and i thing that big animals will take away from that theme. I will be using black ink to design the Sak Yant tattoo because Ink is the closest thing to what they use for the tattoos, ill be making a pyramid shaped Sak Yant with a bunch of different Pali designs, patterns and Indian Yantra symbols to create a meaning for my tattoo. If i will be able to work in a snake into the tattoo i will, because if it will fit into the tattoo it wont take away from the theme like a tiger or a Lion would. If i will have time left i will combine two styles of art i will first create the tattoo and then if i can i will make a painting or drawing of a woman from the back and transfer or re draw the tattoo on the back of her body.

I would like to make a collage of different textile and a variety of gold jewellery from African and Asian cultures. I could cut out some pictures and draw somethings.

Yaya

sbarkindo — 2020-12-11 09:14:10 UTC

My idea is to have the different cultures of now and then probably this might be one person or maybe two different people with different styles and techniques, because this will reflex on the fashion and cultural sense in the past and the future (which is now). i like futuristic drawings so might put a space ship

Severin

ssehorz — 2020-12-11 09:14:43 UTC

My idea is to focus on the Hinduist red points on their head . I will also focus on their religious rituals and how they are actually keeping the. red point.

After some research, I decided on a art painting about mainly emotions, i plan on drawing a girl that is sad holding a mask with her outer emotions. A painting by Elisabetta Renosto is a great example of what my idea is.

My idea is to make a ornament, could be for christmas out of epoxy resin but in a african style. The ornament itself represents the tradition of celebrating christmas and the style and design represents the african cuture and style. i want it to make it just brown and when it is dried i want to paint some animals in colors that represent the african style and culture.

I would want to make some item of clothing hanging on a hanger. the clothing item will be a combination of different cultures who represent the human form with traditional clothing or clothing on general. the clothing item i want to make is a dress and i will be sewing different materials together to make it. i am taking inspiration from an unusual artist named Pia Camil. her art works are all made out of materials and different clothing.

My idea is to paint a portrait of my family member or friend. Portraits have been a a cultural symbol for many centuries, representing beauty, power, social values, etc. I will use oil paint as did the painter that has inspired me. For my reference i will use one of Van Gogh's portraits.It is a portrait of his friend and doctor who has helped Van Gogh a lot trough out the years.

For my final project I want to do something related to the human body, and add a few cultural points to it. For example add the African rings around the sculpture's neck. To add more creativity I might add some color to my overall sculpture when its dry and almost done, for example spray dot paint.

For my final project, I will be choosing something related to the human form. This picture represents the human form very well as it shows that we shield ourselves and that we never show our true colors. It shows how even when we are happy on the outside we are still suffering not the inside. This relates to universal and it shows the diversity that humans have within. It shows that we suppress our real feelings to hide our real emotions.

For my final project, I want to focus on different types of bodies and how beauty standards are still a thing. The artists that inspired me to go in this direction were Ted Lawson as well as Niki de Saint Phalle. They both focus on different types of bodies. This picture represents the human form very well because there are 8 women all of the different body types. It represents that we aren't all the same but we are all beautiful for no matter how we look.

For my final project, I will be mixing dozens of roses on a human mask, the diagram above is an elegant, vintage mix of different colors of roses plus a seemingly half unfinished face. It is a very beautiful kind of Human form because it expresses color, emotions, and a message, describing specifically what is going on in the diagram above is that the mix of flowers is part of the face of a lady, moreover, the non-existent eyes and the other parts of the unfinished head is replaced by the flowers.
Flowers will be the majority of the message of this artwork, the flowers have specific colors and it is coming out from the mask, the flowers have a mix of pattern and have leaves sticking out.

Maya

For my final project, I want to do something, related to the human body. I want to incorporate the human structure and the bone structure. Because the Bones structure plays a key role in the human form. The picture shows a skull covered in diamonds. Created by Damien Hirst.

For my final project i want to do something with one Person but intergrate 2 faces into it. I want to do something with a bi-polar Person since i really find that subject interesting and unique. I know that bi-polarnisss isnt the idea of this image, since it is, in my opinion, that 2 lovers Meet. Dispise this fact i really found it interesting that 2 faces were put into that same sculpture, therefore i Chose to do something wich has the same context (2 faces) but include only 1 Body with 2 faces since it should represnt being bi-polar.

For my final project, I will take inspiration from the italian Artist Albert Giorgi. He has created a sculpture representing a grieving parent after losing a child. I want to include this emotion of emptiness and extreme sadness in my final sculpture, by creating a hole in the upper body. I could use different colours, such as blue to represent the emotion of sadness visually or work on the body language or facial expression to develop those negative emotions. The final sculpture will represent a universal human body, as there will not be any signs of culture or religion, and the emotion of emptiness ar sadness can be felt by people all around the world.

obaillou — 2021-12-06 19:54:07 UTC

The inspiration for my final project will be Brian Donelly better known as KAWS. KAWS is a sculptor who is best known for his sculptures of human looking beings with elephant ears and an x as eyes. Donelly does these statues in different colours and sizes that can vary from a couple of metres to centimetres. He also sometimes varies with the shape slightly. For my final I will make a human with the head of a bear and the ears of a rabbit that is wearing modern western clothes that people who are young would generally wear. This would be cultural as the clothing is specific to western culture. It would represent youth as well as the human form in a slightly new way that is entwined with body parts of animals.

I am taking inspiration from the Chinese choreographer Zhang Jigang who made The thousand hand dance which symbolizes harmony, good deeds and sacrifice for love. It is part of Buddhism which is mostly practiced in the eastern and southern parts of Asia. I believe this dance is an excellent way to show the use of the human body in order to describe a culture as there are many body parts (arms) being used. I believe this artwork would fit well as a painting due to more fine details having to be added. I would also use color to make it more appealing. Other dances i could use would be the spanish Flamenco or different tribal dances.

My final project will be inspired by Umberto Boccioni. Umberto Boccioni was a great sculptor, known for his many futuristic sculptures. These sculptures often have a lot of movement. They are also depictions of human beings with certain advancements such as slowly turning into a robot, or evolved to have longer and stronger limbs. That is why they look so futuristic. Boccioni also uses rich and sometimes shiny colours as many people expect the future to be bright, sleek and shiny. For my project, I want to use the futuristic concept of how humans are evolving and also include the movement too. However, I want to change the complexity of the sculpture, so I want to make the pieces and limbs much more simple, because I feel like many designs in the future will be much simpler.

2021-12-09 09:08:14 UTC

I was inspired by artist called Alexa Meade. For my final project I would like to make a person with emotions. It will be an Universal work as everyone has emotions and feel something. I would like to do something similar in smaller version. I would like to use clay. I would like to make it 3D so it would have some effect on people.

For my final project, I got some inspiration from Michelangelo because of his amazing and unique artwork. For example, he has made various types of human body sculptures and paintings. This artwork represents the connections between the body form and people. My project will be related to the human body form. As you can see in the image above, it shows two hands which are about to touch each other. For my final clay design, I would do something similar like this but with only one hand with a different hand gesture with holding something. I will use clay, and make it look more 3D and add some water colour to it which would make it look more realistic and appealing. I will use a peach-ish colour for the hand which represents the colour of the skin, and white/black and blue for the colour of the eye.

kdimartino5 — 2021-12-09 09:29:57 UTC

For my final design, I picked Caravaggio because I was inspired by his sculptures. I also picked him because his sculptures were highly related to roman times. I also picked him because he was very related to the human form creating sculptures that were absurd such as the woman with snake hears named (Medusa). the sculpture I will be creating is called (Medusa) its origin comes from Roman legends and Percy Jackson the novel and movie. I will use Breezeblock of the sculpture.

My final project will be inspired by the work of Sara Riches "The Mask she hides behind". Sara Riches makes sculptures that commonly related to the human form, but especially human emotions. Her works often include contrast, to demonstrate that a person might be happy on the outside, but truly upset or hurt on the inside. In my final artwork, I will use the concept of a smiling mask, and an upset face, but I will change the way they are represented. My sculpture will be made of clay, however I made use pieces made from other materials. I will try to use a color contrast as well to make my sculpture eye catching and aesthetically pleasing.

amonteiro9 — 2021-12-10 21:49:12 UTC

My Final project is inspired in Henry Moore. He has a high variety of types of artwork done, showing different things, but I am inspiring specifically on his sculptures. Most of them are abstract, making use of simplistic longer shapes that have different meanings while using Human Form. Most of his works as sculptures are abstract and in my opinion the simplicity it has, makes it more attractive, as what seems to not have anything as meaning can be more than you think you see, making it more interesting. His artworks are mostly universal, that means, artworks that could show, emotions, feelings, things that all of us have and feel. My objective is to change the aim of the artwork to cultural, doing an inspired-like work but with cultural aspects from Brazil. In this case with people mostly from there will recognize.

kchiurazzi — 2022-01-12 11:36:45 UTC

My final project was inspired by the sculpture “Lift Spirits and Embody Hope” by Andrea Kay. Kay specializes in creating pieces that call attention to being self-expressive and telling stories. Almost all of her work explores the self-expressive and emotional side of cultural artwork. Due to the fact that I adore exploring the range of human emotion and how that emotion can be explored in art, her work and vision inspired me. However, Kay’s sculpture that inspired me most was “Lift Spirits and Embody Hope” due to the blue bird symbolizing freedom, and the roses symbolizing love and unity. The symbolism used in her sculpture helped me figure out that I could use symbolism in my sculpture to convey the themes I want to the audience. That is why my final project will be a clay sculpture of a spiderweb bringing together three roses (two red, one white to symbolize unity along with the spiderweb) which will be used to support the statue on the top, three evil eyes to symbolize safety (one in the middle and three on the bottom, also used to support the statue), and two blue birds embracing on the spiderweb to symbolize freedom and love. I chose to represent these themes because these concepts can be understood and felt by all human beings, making the sculpture a vessel that shows the range of human emotion through symbolism.
