Stone Sculpture Hand Carved Creations in Stone
Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture HAND CARVED CREATIONS IN STONE • BRIEF BACKGROUND • THE STONE • MEDIA REVIEWS • FEATURED ARTISTS • THE SCULPTURE Gallery Handbook Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture A BRIEF BACKGROUND Born of an artistic environment free from the constraints of formal artistic ACKGROUND rules & boundaries, the Zimbabwe Sculpture Movement has become B known as the most compelling & evocative form of art to emerge from Africa in the 20th century. First appearing in the late 1950s, the art soon captured the attention of the west and has since been featured in many of the world’s finest museums, galleries & private collections. However, the significance of Zimbabwean stone sculpture lies not in the international recognition it has gained, but in its honest and emotional expression of the unique socio-cultural identity of the Zimbabwean community at large. The Zimbabwe Sculpture Movement reads as a testimony of time & place as the artists sculpt a cultural & spiritual induced depiction of the ever- changing Zimbabwean society. As their community changes, new styles emerge to document both the past, the present, and a vision for what’s to come. Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture A BRIEF BACKGROUND CONTINUED - In 1957, Frank McEwen was appointed as the first curator of the new ACKGROUND National Gallery in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe). He had B previously been curator at the Musée Rodin, Paris and had links with various artists of the time, including Picasso (who was himself heavily influenced by African art) and Matisse. McEwen was impressed with the talent of some of the artists he met in Zimbabwe, and he encouraged them to paint and later to sculpt.

Soap Stone Sculpture NAME:______
Soap Stone Sculpture NAME:____________ Soapstone carving is an ancient practice dating back more than 3000 years ago. An art gallery has commissioned you to create a soapstone sculpture reflecting a specific animal or Inukshuk. The final work must show clear evidence of an influence from the Northern Canadian style/period. You will gain appreciation of the art of Canada’s aboriginal peoples, develop problem solving skills in designing your own work in the Northern Canadian style with subtractive sculpture techniques, and learn to follow steps for cutting, carving, and polishing soap stone. You will first create 3 different conceptual sketches (different angles – front, side and back) , which will be evaluated. You will also submit a Loon Soapstone carving statement outlining the chosen subject matter of the work and artistic style in your sculpture and the sculpture techniques you used in creating it. What is Soapstone? There are three different kinds of rocks found on the earth. They are igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. Soapstone is formed by changes in the structure of an igneous rock such as peridotite. These changes occur at low temperature and moderate pressure in the presence of water. Soapstone is then a metamorphic rock that forms in layers with different degrees of thickness. Soapstone, which is also known as steatite, is a soft rock which is made up mostly of the mineral talc. It feels soapy or oily and can be found in a variety of colours such as white, gray, or grayish-green. History: Cape Dorset is probably the most famous art producing community in Canada's north.

CF E)g.T The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date (3/81) i i ABSTRACT It has long been recognized by Sidney Geist and others that Constantin Brancusi's stone work, after 1907, forms a coherent totality in which each component depends on its relationship to the whole for its significance; in short, the oeuvre comprises a rigorous sculptural language. Up to the present, however, formalist approaches have proven insufficient for decodifying the clear design which can be intuited in the language.
