from the content
Art comes from abilityis a widespread aphorism, which is also etymologically correct. In fact, the word art, which originated in the 9th century, has its origin in the word Can
(kunnan, what else know
and knowledgeincludes). In our community of values, it is in fact possible for everyone to become an artist, a painter, a writer or a sculptor. Art today no longer has to have much to do with skill. Ultimately, everyone is an artist if they only succeed in convincing a broader public of this very idea. The author contradicts this.
In this little manual the author shows in the case of bronze how many technical steps are necessary to make a sculpture out of fantasy. Incidentally, the reader learns something about the history of sculpture or learns to distinguish terms from this art genre. Everything explained in simple words, yet challenging, meaningful and entertaining.
