  • A Short History of Georgian Architecture

    A Short History of Georgian Architecture

    A SHORT HISTORY OF GEORGIAN ARCHITECTURE Georgia is situated on the isthmus between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. In the north it is bounded by the Main Caucasian Range, forming the frontier with Russia, Azerbaijan to the east and in the south by Armenia and Turkey. Geographically Georgia is the meeting place of the European and Asian continents and is located at the crossroads of western and eastern cultures. In classical sources eastern Georgia is called Iberia or Caucasian Iberia, while western Georgia was known to Greeks and Romans as Colchis. Georgia has an elongated form from east to west. Approximately in the centre in the Great Caucasian range extends downwards to the south Surami range, bisecting the country into western and eastern parts. Although this range is not high, it produces different climates on its western and eastern sides. In the western part the climate is milder and on the sea coast sub-tropical with frequent rains, while the eastern part is typically dry. Figure 1 Map of Georgia Georgian vernacular architecture The different climates in western and eastern Georgia, together with distinct local building materials and various cultural differences creates a diverse range of vernacular architectural styles. In western Georgia, because the climate is mild and the region has abundance of timber, vernacular architecture is characterised by timber buildings. Surrounding the timber houses are lawns and decorative trees, which rarely found in the rest of the country. The population and hamlets scattered in the landscape. In eastern Georgia, vernacular architecture is typified by Darbazi, a type of masonry building partially cut into ground and roofed by timber or stone (rarely) constructions known as Darbazi, from which the type derives its name.

POT Over A Century Of Camanship In Clay INTRODUCTION artisan made This catalog shows the wide range of pottery pieces designed & handmade in our ceramic studios and fired in our kilns. These pieces are not only for the garden, but also for general use of decoration indoors and out. Gladding, McBean & Co. has been producing this pottery for 130 years. Its manufacture began in the earliest years of the company’s existence at a time when no other terra cotta plant on the Pacific Coast was attempting anything of the sort. Gladding, McBean & Co. therefore, has pioneered in pottery-making. The company feels that it has carried the art to an impressive height of excellence. In every detail but color the following photographs speak for themselves. Each piece is glazed in one of our beautiful proprietary glazes. A complete set of glaze samples can be seen at our retail showrooms. This pottery is on display at, and may be ordered from, any of the retail showrooms listed on our website at www.gladdingmcbean.com. In photographing the pieces, and in reproducing the photographs for this catalog, the strictist care was taken to make the pictures as faithful as possible to the objects themselves. We are confident that in every instance the pottery will be found lovelier than its picture.

  • Sculptors' Jewellery Offers an Experience of Sculpture at Quite the Opposite End of the Scale

    Sculptors' Jewellery Offers an Experience of Sculpture at Quite the Opposite End of the Scale

    SCULPTORS’ JEWELLERY PANGOLIN LONDON FOREWORD The gift of a piece of jewellery seems to have taken a special role in human ritual since Man’s earliest existence. In the most ancient of tombs, archaeologists invariably excavate metal or stone objects which seem to have been designed to be worn on the body. Despite the tiny scale of these precious objects, their ubiquity in all cultures would indicate that jewellery has always held great significance.Gold, silver, bronze, precious stone, ceramic and natural objects have been fashioned for millennia to decorate, embellish and adorn the human body. Jewellery has been worn as a signifier of prowess, status and wealth as well as a symbol of belonging or allegiance. Perhaps its most enduring function is as a token of love and it is mostly in this vein that a sculptor’s jewellery is made: a symbol of affection for a spouse, loved one or close friend. Over a period of several years, through trying my own hand at making rings, I have become aware of and fascinated by the jewellery of sculptors. This in turn has opened my eyes to the huge diversity of what are in effect, wearable, miniature sculptures. The materials used are generally precious in nature and the intimacy of being worn on the body marries well with the miniaturisation of form. For this exhibition Pangolin London has been fortunate in being able to collate a very special selection of works, ranging from the historical to the contemporary. To complement this, we have also actively commissioned a series of exciting new pieces from a broad spectrum of artists working today.
  • A Comparative Study of the Swennes Woven Nettle Bag and Weaving Techniques

    A Comparative Study of the Swennes Woven Nettle Bag and Weaving Techniques

    Karoll UW-L Journal of Undergraduate Research XII (2009) A Comparative Study of the Swennes Woven Nettle Bag and Weaving Techniques Amy Karol Faculty Sponsors: Dr. Connie Arzigian and Dr. David Anderson, Department of Sociology and Archaeology ABSTRACT During recent years, the Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center (MVAC) has acquired permission to look at a beautifully preserved bag from 47Lc84, a rockshelter located in La Crosse County, Wisconsin. The bag is tentatively dated to the Oneota cultural tradition (A.D. 1250-1650) based on pottery sherds associated with it. Nothing of its kind has been found archaeologically in this region before, owing mostly to poor preservation conditions. Due to its uniqueness, there is nothing to compare it to within the Oneota tradition. Therefore, to gain a better understanding of this bag, a cross-cultural study was undertaken. This paper examines separate sites in the American Midwest, as well as textile impressions that are preserved on pottery, the ethnohistoric and early historic record, and modern hand-weaving techniques to determine the textile tradition from which the bag may have emerged as well as how it was constructed. INTRODUCTION Textiles in the archaeological record are poorly preserved in the American Midwest. Only in very few sites are they actually found, and in even fewer are the fragments large enough to be studied in depth. Detailed studies conducted on textiles are not numerous. Lacking in these studies is a cross-cultural comparison of types and materials from sites that do have better preserved textiles to try and determine similarities and differences in textile manufacture.

Although scholarship on public outdoor sculpture in the Southwest of Nigeria is becoming steady in growth, yet a reconnaissance study of the pottery sculpture in art practice and historical perspective has not been made. A study of this type of art, erected in the garden of Ife art school is exigent and paramount now that many of the works are not being maintained. The study underscores the inherent values in the genre of the art; and examined pottery sculpture types, its uses in public sphere and its development in morphology, iconic thematic and stylistic expressions. The study observed that outdoor pottery sculptures are impressive, apparent in sculpture multiplicity of type and dynamics; it is rare in occurrence in Southwestern Nigeria. Keywords: Ife Art School; outdoor sculpture, pottery sculpture; handbuilt pottery; Yoruba pottery. 1.

Sustainability in architecture includes very extensive and different aspects. Environmental sustainability, the use of natural energies, etc., are factors that have been extensively studied, but what is less studied, is the effects of durability of a work in architecture. Architecture durability means building construction that one of the aesthetic aspects is durable building. Therefore, architecture interactions with painting and sculpture arts and how it will lead to the architecture durability, is examined. Revitalize architecture relationships with other Visual arts can explain the elements, which by benefiting from them we can obtain a model to achieve lasting and sustainable cities and communities. In this article, two lasting works on Iranian architecture, the City Theatre and the Museum of Contemporary Art, have been studied. Method used in this study is an analytical-descriptive method, which its data is collected by using the library method, citing references and documents in books, articles and related sites. Finally, to facilitate the use of research results, tables based on paper's aims (an aesthetic component and an environmental component) have been set.
