Herder and Reappraising Sculpture as Tactile Art

Fabricate 2.5D Shadow Art Sculpture

Shadow art is a practice of arranging objects in space to produce surprising shadow. Creating such an art piece has always been labor intensive and time consuming, through trial-and-error methods.

CLINICAL OBSERVATION: MOVEMENT QUALITY AND CLASSICAL ART Greek sculpture as a tool in understanding the phenomenon of movement quality

The phenomenon could further be structured in terms of four movement dimensions: structural, physiological...
