Cos105.1 Sculpture Theory

Structure

Sculpture transformation is all about changing the shape (silhouette), surface texture and:

form line

at the basics level of observation, a hair structure can be identified by observing the outer boundary or silhouette known as the:

sculpted texture

the surface appearance of the hair

normal projection

when the hair is viewed abstractly, as if it were projected at a 90° angle from the various curves of the head, it is referred to as:

0° hair cut

the solid form is also known as a one length cut, bob, dutch boy, blunt cut, or:

ridgeline

in a graduated form, the line that divides the activated and unactivated texture is known as the:

increase-layered

the basic form that consists of shorter interior lengths that progress toward longer exterior lengths

oval shape

all of the followint descriptions are true about the uniformly layered form except:

weight

the proportional relationship of each form within a combination produces shape, texture and position of:

becoming more fit

a change in hair sculpture can transform a clients look in any of the following except:

hair sculpting

artistic carving or removing of hair lengths to create various forms and shapes

• also known as hair cutting

three levels of observation

1. basic- form/shape

2. detail- texture

3. abstract- structure

form / shape

analyze silhouette while blocking out extraneous information, such as texture or color

texture

identify the detail of the surface or surface appearance

unacivated

smooth, unbroken lines

activated

rough, broken lines with exposed ends

structure

arrangement of length across the curves of the head

structure graphic

diagram that provides an abstract view of the length arrangement to scale and proportion

natural fall

described the hair as the lengths lay or fall naturally over the curve of the head

normal projection

describes hair viewed abstractly as if it were projected at a 90° angle from the various curves of the head

four basic forms

1. solid form

2. graduated form

3. increased - layered form

4. uniformly layered form

weight

created by the concentration of lengths within a given area

interior

the area above the crest

exterior

the area below the crest

solid form

shape: rectangle

sculpted texture: unactivated

structure: shorter exterior progressing to longer interior

weight: maximum weight at the form line

also known as: one-length cut, bob, dutch boy, blunt cut, 0° angle cut

graduated form

shape: triangle

sculpted texture: unactivated/activated

structure: shorter exterior progressing toward longer interior weight

weight: above perimeter form line, where inactivated and activated textures meet

also known as: wedge or 45° angle cut

increase-layered form

shape: oval

sculpted texture: activated

structure: shorter interior progressing to longer exterior

weight: no concentration of weight

also known as: shag or 180° angle cut

uniformly layered form

shape: circular

sculpted texture: activated

structure: consistent lengths throughout

weight: no concentration of weight

also known as: layered cut or 90° angle cut

combination forms

two or more of the four basic forms within a structure

increase / solid

increase-layered interior combines with solid exterior to create the illusion of activated surface appearance while maintaining maximum perimeter weight

increase / uniform / graduation

graduated exterior lengths create a close - fitting contour and blend with the uniformly layered lengths. the increase-layered fringe elongates the form and creates height and fullness

uniform / graduated

shorter exterior lengths blend to uniformly layered interior lengths creating a totally activated surface texture

uniform / increase

combined uniform interior with increase - layered exterior for a highly activated surface and elongation toward the perimeter

graduation / uniform / graduation

graduation create a close fit exterior and blend to uniformly layered length creating a rounded interior. graduated interior lengths create weight and a focal point towards the face

square (rectilinear) form

in this combination form, a weight area is created where the increase-layered form meets the graduated form, resulting in a square form
