Metal Sculpture: A Look at How Engineering Skills can be Used to Create Works of Art

These days you only have to look at some of the latest architectural designs to recognise that engineering skills play a major part in the way a building or an object might look.

Illuminated Glass Skeleton

This phenomenal skeleton sculpture, "Embodiment" is created by sculptor Eric Franklin. The glass skeleton you can see down the page is completely hollow and filled up with ionized krypton, which causes it to glow just like a neon light. The item required more than 1, 000 hours of work during a two year period and also consists of 10 individual parts. Each and every part had to be sculpted separately by flameworking borosilicate glass before getting carefully put together into the whole skeleton you see below.

Even though Ray had never ever sculpted in sand, he took the chance which was offered to make his very first sand sculpture. He did so exceptional that he ended up being invited back again the next summer where he took part in delivering "Dante's Inferno" to the beach and was given one of the most crucial sculpture of the exhibit.

"A marble sculpture of a cut-off hand with the middle finger stuck up has gone on display in front of the Milan Stock Exchange. The 11-meter high installation, called "L.O.V.E." and unveiled for the first time in Milan, is part of a retrospective dedicated to the Italian contemporary artist Maurizio Cattelan, whose provocative works include a sculpture of Pope John Paul being hit by a meteorite."

These include the Pope John Paul meteorite sculpture "La Nona Ora," or "The Ninth Hour" and two untitled works of a crucified woman and a drummer boy."
