I really like this cup because it seems fitting to the season and holiday coming up. I want to do my midterm project with this cup as inspiration. I like the texture on the tentacle.
Robert Arneson was definitely a very unique artist than most who wasn't afraid to expose the vulgarity and honesty of reality. In this sculpture, he voices his political views of being a "vehicle" for anger and pain. He once said, " I want to make high art that is funny, outrageous and also reveals the human condition, which is not always high.”
Humans have been constructing ceramic pottery for over 10,000 years. There are various techniques to create pottery. Coil pots became prevalent in areas where agriculture was expanding. The coils are rolled out of clay, scored, slip is added and they are pinched together. The pots would store grains, crops and seeds for the next planting. These pieces can be distinctively different from one another due to the artist’s creativity.
This is a picture of my grandmothers china. It is simple and elegant, I love this set. She was given this before her and my grandfather got married in 1960.
