This beautiful and fascinating mineral with its yellow color and metallic luster has the nickname of "Fool's Gold" because it has a history of being mistaken for gold - as it can resemble the physical appearance of gold. The ancient Greek named the mineral from their word "pyr" meaning "of fire". This was because they found that sparks would fly from it if struck against another hard mineral, such as iron. Archaeologists have found that burial mounds in South America often contain chunks of pyrite, perhaps so one would have fire in the next world. Aztec ceremonial masks have also been discovered where the eye sockets had been filled with pyrite along with large, flat, polished pieces of pyrite. Speculation is that these were used as early mirrors by early Aztecs and Incans.

  • Ten Minute Mabe Earrings Wire Jewelry Making Pattern #108
    Ten Minute Mabe Earrings Wire Jewelry Making Pattern #108 More Jewelry Making Patterns at http://wire-sculpture.com/patterns/ NOTE: Mabe pearls come in many different shapes, sizes, and grades. Their wholesale price can range anywhere from $15 to $100 and I have seen many pairs of mabe earrings with a very simple setting that cost over $400. Here is where you enter the real world of jewelry pricing. You not only must consider the price you paid for the mabe pearl but you must also take into consideration the size, the grade, the lustre, the imperfections (if any), the nacre, and its color shadings. Also you should know a little about price comparisons. In other words, what does the same size and same quality mabe sell for down at the mall? Naturally, your earrings made with gold filled wire in the most simple setting going won't fetch the price of some of these higher end mabes but you must realize what is the customer's alternative if they want a pair of nice mabe pearl earrings----You just might have the best deal going! Supplies Needed * 6 inches of 14kt. gold filled 22 gauge square half hard wire or brass practice wire * 2 - 13mm round mabe pearls A Grade, all white * 2 safety earring clutches Tools Needed * Flat nose pliers * Chain nose pliers * Wire cutter or flush cutter * Needle file * E-6000 adhesive Step 1 Select two matching mabe pearls with flat backs. For this project I will be working with 13mm round white mabe pearls Grade A.

  • Alexander Calder-Inspired Wire Sculpture Written by Amy Briere, Museum Educator
    Alexander Calder-Inspired Wire Sculpture Written by Amy Briere, Museum Educator Calder at his workbench. © Gordon Parks Introduction Alexander Calder was a 20 th century American sculptor and artist most famous for inventing the mobile, a type of sculpture that moves. In addition to creating mobiles, he coined the term stabiles to refer to his immobile sculptures. Calder also made paintings, lithographs, toys, tapestries, and jewelry. In his first critically important work, Le Cirque de Calder (Calder’s Circus ), the artist magically brought inanimate objects and a band of circus characters to life using wire and recycled materials. Calder’s Circus was a miniature reproduction of an actual circus, and is considered to be the start of his lifelong interest in both wire sculpture and kinetic art. These art forms would typify much of his later sculptural work, including the over 1,800 examples of jewelry made throughout his lifetime, approximately ninety of which are currently on view at the San Diego Museum of Art in the exhibition Calder Jewelry thru January 3 rd , 2010. Two mini lessons are offered as a jumping off point for discussing with K-12 th grade students the sculptural art found within the Calder Jewelry exhibition. The techniques of manipulating wire and found materials are explored through two sculpture projects, wire circus figures and wire jewelry , both inspired by Calder’s imaginative and whimsical investigations with forms in space. 1 Pre-Lesson Information Objectives Students will . • learn about the life and work of the artist Alexander Calder • create sculpture works inspired by the work of Alexander Calder as well as the work on display in Calder Jewelry • create a wire figure following a circus theme as a warm up activity and introduction to the work of Alexander Calder • explore various techniques for bending and manipulating wire • reflect on the art they have created • present their works in a collaborative presentation Art Terms Abstract – A style of art that is not realistic.

  • The Forming of the Metal Arts Guild, San Francisco (1929-1964)
    Metal Rising: The Forming of the Metal Arts Guild, San Francisco (1929-1964) Jennifer Shaifer Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master’s of Arts in the History of Decorative Arts. The Smithsonian Associates and Corcoran College of Art + Design 2011 © 2011 Jennifer Shaifer All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is a project I hold dear to my heart. A milestone in my life in which I will never forget. My research started as a journey across the United States to tell a story about the formation of the Metal Arts Guild, but has ended with a discovery about the strength of the human spirit. I was not fortunate to meet many of the founding members of the Metal Arts Guild, but my research into the lives and careers of Margaret De Patta, Irena Brynner, and Peter Macchiarini has provided me with invaluable inspiration. Despite the adversity these artists faced, their strength still reverberates through the trails of history they left behind for an emerging scholar like me. Throughout this project, I have received so much support. I would like to thank Heidi Nasstrom Evans, my thesis advisor, for her encouragement and patience during the thesis writing process. It was during her Spring 2007 class on modernism, that I was introduced to a whole new world of art history. I also want to thank Cynthia Williams and Peggy Newman for their constant source of support. A huge thank you to Alison Antleman and Rebecca Deans for giving me access to MAG’s archives and allowing me to tell their organization’s story.

  • Kukje Gallery
    PRESS RELEASE Kukje Gallery Alexander Calder Calder Jewelry 2014. 7. 10 - 8. 17 K1 www.kukjegallery.com Kukje Gallery is very pleased to announce the opening of Alexander Calder Jewelry, a very special solo exhibition devoted to the exquisite artwork and singular vision of Alexander Calder. While best known as a sculptor of his signature mobiles and stabiles, Calder is equally renowned for his work as a painter and jeweler. Indeed, jewelry – more aptly termed “wearable art” – was a central element in Calder’s practice that he engaged throughout his life, having made more than 2,000 unique objects in his long and celebrated career. The exhibit at Kukje, curated with the assistance of the Calder Foundation, centers around Calder’s jewelry, © 2014 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York using it to frame the iconic themes of his art, and Photo credit: © Calder Foundation, New York / Art Resource, NY includes some of the most unique and accomplished examples of his wearable art. Made from materials as diverse as steel, silver and gold wire, and shards of glass, Calder’s jewelry not only exists as a singular testament to his creative genius, but also sheds light on and informs his work in sculpture and other media. Indeed, the artist exemplified throughout his life that there should be no hard and fast distinction between the fields of art and craft and that instead they should co-exist and stimulate the broader role of creativity in everyday life. In the case of Calder, this commitment to and engagement with the body and kinetic work clearly connects the jewelry with his larger sculptural works.

  • Sculpture Has Shape
    Liberty Pines Academy 10901 Russell Sampson Rd. Saint Johns, Fl 32259 Sculpture has shape. The word sculpture originates from the Latin word sculpere, which means "to carve". Which means it looks solid and not flat. You can measure the height, length and width. Reindeer made out of Bird made out of horseshoes. toothpicks. Topiary garden rabbits. Some sculptures can only be looked at by one side. Sculptors call this a relief sculpture. Sculptures can be made of almost any organic materials like clay, wood, ice, paper, sand, snow or stone.

Sculptors in the 20th and 21st centuries were and are able to create very different sculptures due to the change in technology, materials and artistic thought.
