Exploring the Interplay Between Environment and Sculpture: Historical and Contextual Influences

This project examines how environments shape sculpture, drawing on historical examples such as Stonehenge (UK, 1600 BC) and contemporary works like Christo's "Surrounded Islands" (Miami, 1983) and Andy Goldsworthy's "Ice Sculpture." We will consider local materials, their adaptability, and the joining techniques involved. The influence of social and historical contexts in design will be discussed, inspired by Auguste Rodin's "The Burghers of Calais" (1889). Finally, we will explore juxtaposition in art through Claus Oldenburg's works, looking to combine main ideas with varied environments.
