3D Modeling

3D Modeling




3D Modeling is a huge part of industry and media consumption in the world today. It is such an accessible and dynamic medium, and a lot of amazing art comes from it. 3D modeling is also a huge part of one of the largest entertainment mediums around, video games. In my opinion, 3D modelling is one of the most underrated art mediums around, and it serves many purposes. It can capture textures, depth, and stylistic choices better than any other medium.

Sculpture is done with many different mediums. One of them is plaster. Plaster is a super versatile medium that can be used to sculpt, Make molds, and many other things. Plaster also holds a practical purpose, and its really useful. Here are some examples of art made with plaster.

Jasper Johns

Jasper Johns


Jasper Johns is an American Artist who was famous for his paintings and sculptures. I like his paintings to an extent, but I am not a huge fan of his sculpture, as it doesn't really feel like his subject matter is brought beyond surface level.

John Chamberlain

John Chamberlain


I really love John Chamberlains art. His sculptures have a really compact look to them, his foam sculptures, which are tied together, and bound, giving a very constricted appearance. His other works, such as his car scraps, which are welded together, are also really compact.

Mayan Sculpture

Mayan Sculpture.


Mayan Sculpture was very present in a lot of every day items. Things such as altars, or thrones had ornamental carvings, and Mayan culture was rich with art, and there was avery specific aesthetic in their society. Buildings were adorned with stucco sculptures, and Mayan art was very refined for the time. Here are some examples of Mayan art.

Negative Space

Negative Space


Negative Space is the area around the art, it could just be a blank background, or a splash of color. But Negative Space can be used in really creative ways. It can be a way to bring new depth to the art!


Edward Tufte

The way simple shapes are used in this sculpture to create an image, that could be different depending on the person, although I see a very minimalist face.



Sukhi Barber

This Sculpture does the same thing, but in a greater way I think, as not only is there an image within the sculpture, but the sculpture itself is art, unlike the image above, which uses negative space, but it doesn't really bother with the sculpture itself. This image also has great symbolism included in the piece. 



Matteo Pugliese

This sculpture is an amazing integration of negative space, and the sculpture itself. It does an amazing job of blurring the lines between the negative space, and the sculpture itself.

I like how the Sculpture is focused more on the negative space than the positive, as there isn't much of it to begin with. It's like a 3D illustration.

I like the way this sculpture just looks, the people, and the bench they're interacting with all look as if they've had a bite taken out of them, and the negative space really brings a feeling of whats gone from these statues is really missing, it brings a good sense of emptiness.
