Sculpture is a moving art—even when it stands still.
Three Steps
- Start frontally to find the composition.
- Move to 3/4 for volume.
- Drop slightly below eye level for silhouette.
| Cue | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Edge | Direction |
| Shadow | Weight |
| Highlight | Tension |
Change your position; the work will answer.
Slow looking turns detail into story.
