3d Art Sculpture Woman Reading A Book On Her Lap

3d art sculpture Reading

In my work I am often looking for characteristic elements of body language.
Which element of body language do I find most decisive for expressing the desired expression in a 3d art sculpture?

Which elements of the expression to be imagined, promote recognisability?
It's like determining the moment when you freeze a movie at the correct shot.

Curved elements in my 3d art sculpture

In the sculpture series "Body Postures" and "Eyes" I use a model of cupboard legs that I also used under my cupboards.
In these curved, tapered, 4-sided shape cupboard legs I see a construction element with many possibilities.

Different compositions always give a different shape.

The minimum possible processing with the sander also changes the shape.
Small additions and accents help determine the final desired 3d art sculpture.

The challenge for this 3d art sculpture.

I was viewing the ability to construct a sitting, reading statuette.

This with two building blocks for the legs and one for the body.
This figure sits with straight legs on the high white plinth, the toes of the right foot up, the toes of the left foot down.
There is a book on her thighs in which she is reading.

To approximate the correct proportions, the body is placed on the pedestal separately from the legs.

The upper body is slightly bent forward to look into the book.

The two half spheres on the front turn the figurine into a female figure.

The head on the torso is turned a little to the left, making it look like she's looking at the left page of the book.

On top of her head, the hair is tied together and falls apart like a plume.

The joy of reading

The joy of reading is an unparalleled experience that transcends time and space, transporting readers to different worlds, cultures, and perspectives.
It's a journey of the mind that ignites the imagination and stimulates emotions in a way that few other activities can match.

When you open a book, you enter into a realm of infinite possibilities.
Whether it's fiction or non-fiction, poetry or prose, each page holds the promise of discovery, enlightenment, or simply pure entertainment.
The characters become friends, mentors, or adversaries, and their stories resonate with our own experiences, aspirations, and fears.

Reading allows you to explore the depths of human emotions, from the heights of joy and love to the depths of despair and sorrow.
It's a rollercoaster of feelings that connects you not only to the characters in the book but also to the author and their creative vision.

Moreover, reading expands your horizons by exposing you to new ideas, perspectives, and ways of thinking.
It broadens your understanding of the world and challenges your assumptions, fostering empathy and compassion for others.

The joy of reading is also deeply personal.
It's about finding that perfect book that speaks to your soul, that resonates with your own experiences and beliefs, or that challenges you to see the world in a different light.
It's about losing yourself in the pages of a story and emerging transformed, enriched, and inspired.

In a world filled with distractions and noise, reading offers a sanctuary, a quiet space where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of language and the power of storytelling.
It's a refuge from the chaos of everyday life, a source of comfort and solace, and a reminder of the enduring magic of words.

Ultimately, the joy of reading lies in its ability to transport you beyond the confines of reality, to ignite your imagination, and to nourish your mind and soul. It's a lifelong journey of discovery and wonder, a treasure trove of experiences waiting to be explored with each turn of the page.
