Handout- This is two baby sculpted Antique broken porcelain parts I have fused together as one cool looking contemporary art sculpture. I like my work to be a mix of new art and antique objects. These are 3-dimensional antique fused baby parts, in painted old porcelain. They are one-of-a-kind art objects. Baby parts come in so many shapes and sizes. I like the chubby baby parts the most. I feel like there are thousands of old broken baby parts I could sculpt and fuse together before I would ever run out of ideas. I have filled my studio with all kinds of art things, doll parts, little objects, dolls-in-progress and sculpting supplies. My home studio is a great place to work. I use various kinds of professional art sculptors' clay and glues to make my art. Sculpting a art object begins with finding good parts. It takes many hours of patient concentration to form a realistic-looking art object and to finish it with fine details. I find myself laughing and loving the art work instantly, as I am making it. The shapes and textures of different objects provide an interesting contrast to emphasize my art parts. I like to bring together Contemporary & Traditional works of art with an antique-influenced look. These relationships are explored through painting, sculpting, drawing, and design. I am motivated to create art by an endless curiosity for the controlled and natural design. This new series of paintings and sculpting reveal a more dynamic and complex organization within art. The bold graphic color schemes of my compositions are undoubtedly the most obviously striking feature of the work.

Sculpture is three-dimensional artwork created by shaping or combining hard and or plastic material, sound, and or text and or light, commonly stone (either rock or marble), metal, glass, or wood. Some sculptures are created directly by finding or carving; others are assembled, built up and fired, welded, molded, or cast. Sculptures are often painted. A person who creates sculptures is called a sculptor. Because sculpture involves the use of materials that can be moulded or modulated, it is considered one of the plastic arts. The majority of public art is sculpture. Many sculptures together in a garden setting may be referred to as a sculpture garden. Sculptors have generally sought to produce works of art that are as permanent as possible, working in durable and frequently expensive materials such as bronze and stone: marble, limestone, porphyry, and granite. More rarely, precious materials such as gold, silver, jade, and ivory were used for chryselephantine works. More common and less expensive materials were used for sculpture for wider consumption, including glass, hardwoods (such as oak, box/boxwood, and lime/linden); terra cotta and other ceramics, and cast metals such as pewter and zinc (spelter). Sculptures are often painted, but commonly loose their paint to time, or restorers. Many different painting techniques have been used in making sculpture, including tempera, [oil painting], gilding, house paint, aerosol, enamel and sandblasting. Many sculptors seek new ways and materials to make art. Jim Gary used stained glass and automobile parts, tools, machine parts, and hardware. One of Pablo Picasso's most famous sculptures included bicycle parts. Alexander Calder and other modernists made spectacular use of painted steel. Since the 1960s, acrylics and other plastics have been used as well. Sculptors often build small preliminary works called maquettes of ephemeral materials such as plaster of Paris, wax, or clay. Sculptors sometimes use found objects.
