Sculpture Theory 105.1

Question 1

Combination Form

Answer 1

Two or more of the four basic forms within a sculpture; the proportional relationship of each form within a combination produces the shape, texture and position of weight in the final design.

Question 2

Crest Area

Answer 2

Widest area around the head; divides the interior from the exterior.

Question 3

Exterior

Answer 3

Area of the head below the crest area.

Question 4

Form

Answer 4

Three-dimensional representation of shape.

Question 5

Form Line

Answer 5

Outer boundary or silhouette of a form or shape.

Question 6

Gradation

Answer 6

Very short version of the graduated form; shorter exterior lengths gradually progress to longer interior lengths; color-coded yellow; examples include fades and bald fades.

Question 7

Graduated Form

Answer 7

Consists of shorter exterior lengths that gradually progress toward longer interior lengths; ends appear to stack up along one another at an angle; results in activated texture in the exterior and unactivated in the interior; triangle shape; color-codes yellow; also known as a wedge or 45° angle cut.

Question 8

Hair Sculpting

Answer 8

Artistic carving or removing of hair lengths to create various forms and shapes; also known as haircutting.

Question 9

Increased-Layered Form

Answer 9

Consists of shorter interior lengths that progress toward longer exterior lengths; results in a totally activated surface texture with no visible weight; oval shape; color-coded red; also known as a shag or 180°cut.

Question 10

Interior

Answer 10

Area of the head above the crest area.

Question 11

Normal Projection

Answer 11

The way to analyze the structure or length arrangement of a hair sculpture; hair is viewed abstractly as if it were projected at a 90°angle from the various curves of the head.

Question 12

Ridge Line

Answer 12

The line that visually separates the two textures in graduated forms.

Question 13

Shape

Answer 13

Two-dimensional representation of form; silhouette or outer boundary.

Question 14

Solid Form

Answer 14

Consists of lengths that progress from shorter in the exterior to longer in the interior; all lengths fall to the same level in natural fall; results in an unactivated surface texture; rectangle or oval shape; color-coded blue; also known as a one-length cut, bob, Dutch boy, blunt cut or 0°angle cut.

Question 15

Square Form

Answer 15

Created using planar sculpting technique; weight area is created where the increase-layered form meets the graduated form; also known as rectilinear form or Box Cut

Question 16

Structure

Answer 16

In hair sculpting, the arrangement of lengths across the various curves of the head.

Question 17

Structure Graphic

Answer 17

Diagram that provides an abstract view of the length arrangement of a hair sculpture to scale and proportion. In hair sculpting, the arrangement of lengths across the various curves of the head.

Question 18

Texture

Answer 18

The quality of a surface influenced by sculpting techniques and curl patterns; may be unactivated, smooth or activated (rough).

Question 19

Uniformly Layered Form

Answer 19

Consists of the same lengths throughout; results in a totally activated surface with no discernible weight; circular shape; color-coded green; also known as a layered cut or 90° angle cut.

Question 20

Weight

Answer 20

Created by the concentration of length within a given area of a sculpted form.
