Sculpture
According to Chapter 13, all sculpture interacts with its audience in a three-dimensional way, whereas the preceding art forms discussed in the book are generally two-dimensional. As such, the former makes use of two basic processes in its creative process: subtractive and additive processes. The subtractive process, as its name suggests, entails removing material in order to reveal the sculpture. In other words, the raw material comprises a greater mass than the result after the creative process. The additive process is the opposite of this: the artist builds the sculpture from the raw material, and adds material as the piece is created.
Carving is an example of the subtractive process. In this process, the work of art is created by chipping, gouging, or hammering pieces from the raw material. The most common materials used for such work are wood and stone. There are many examples of carvings from ancient to modern times, one of which includes Nativity by Patrocinio Barela from Taos, New Mexico. This sculpture is carved from the juniper tree.
Modeling is an example of the additive process. Clay is most commonly used for modeling purposes. Its pliable qualities lends this material perfectly not only for adding to the initial product, but also for molding it according to the sculptor's wish. Clay is furthermore a popular materials because of its capacity to retain its shape after being molded. Firing or baking clay shapes makes it waterproof, hard and durable. The term commonly used for clay art and craft is ceramics.
An example of ceramics is Case of Bottles by Robert Arneson. This work creates a poignant contrast between Arneson's rough, hand-made work and the subject-matter he addresses, which focuses on mass-produced, consumer products. Clay lends itself particularly well to this clever use. In this, clay is perhaps the easiest sculpting material to work with when using the additive process.

French Romantic painter, Eugene Delacroix, is well-known from this period. Delacroix often took his subjects from literature but added much more by using color to create an effect of pure energy and emotion that he compared to music. He also showed that paintings can be done about present-day historical events, not just those in the past (Wood, 217). He was at home with styles such as pen, watercolor, pastel, and
Denver Museum Culture and Visual Identity: The art piece chosen is "Soliloquy: Life's Fragile Fictions" painted by Moyo Ogundipe in 1997. Ogundipe is from Nigeria and belongs to the Yoruba culture.

Pissarro took a special interest in his attempts at painting, emphasizing that he should 'look for the nature that suits your temperament', and in 1876 Gauguin had a landscape in the style of Pissarro accepted at the Salon. In the meantime Pissarro had introduced him to Cezanne, for whose works he conceived a great respect-so much so that the older man began to fear that he would steal his
psychoanalytic as portrayed by H. Segal. It has sources. Psychoanalytic approach to aesthetics can best be understood by understanding the theory/ies that guide us on the study of this particularly complex discipline. The theory and guidelines of psychoanalytic approach enable us to offer some insight into the worlds of literature, art and music, and on the other hand, it also allows us to better understand artists' perception and inner approaches
Yes, the Oedipus complex aspect of Shakespeare it gives us and which in turn invites us to think about the issue of subjectivity, the myth and its relation to psychoanalytic theory.
