CLASSICAL FOUNTAIN DESIGNS:











































Classical Fountain Designs, are normally old, historical fountains, but very classic. These type of fountains, are normally situated in big cities, museums, castles,  posh, historical places.
A Classical Fountain, is a big investment, takes time to think about it, to go with the place, has to be something simple, but classic, materials like, different rocks, lights are normally used too, any other designs that go with it.

On those fountains, normally what stands out the most, is how the water comes out from the fountain, how the fountain is designed to make it come out, some. One important thing, is that the fountain has to suit the place that is going to be living on, if is a castle or museum, has to be even more delicate and classic, no noises coming, to go with the place, if is in a public are, on a capital city, it has to fit the cities environment, it can be perhaps bigger, so it stands out from the crowd, water can come out in different ways and shapes.

Personally, i like Classic Fountains because they're simple, but they're posh, which makes the place around them look nice, and specially, public appreciate stuff like that, they can take pictures, and enjoy.





CONTEMPORARY AND ARCHITECTURAL FOUNTAIN DESIGNS:






 

Contemporary and Architectural fountains, are fountains are architectural like it says.
Those fountains are normally big and most of them are geometric.
They are contemporary, done in the present, and because they're architectural it takes a long time to think about them first and then produce it.


CONTEMPORARY AND FUN FOUNTAIN IDEAS:




 

Contemporary and Fun Fountains are much more free, they are used to illustrate a place, its why they're called "FUN FOUNTAINS".
The artist who is commissioned to produce a fountain like those, has to think obviously about what sort of fun fountain hes going to put on the site, it has to fit the purpose site and at the same time he has the link to the site and some how be fun, interesting.

Normally fun fountains are place in parks, swimming pool, it attracts more people around, specially children.
From these three different ideas, the classical fountains were my favorite, but i like how the Fun one's are free and linking with their site, makes the place less dull, brings people over and makes that area more comfortable.

Sculpture trail 2

The first task i had to do, to open the new brief "Public art" was to go into Cambridge City Centre and go around, take pictures of Public Art Sculptures. The first public art sculpture i took a picture of, was one called "Between the Lines 2007" by Peter Randall-Page. Carved from granite glacial boulder. The sculpture is just situated at Fisher Square,off Corn Exchange Street. Anew piece of public Art sited adjacent to the Grand Arcade. In 2009, Peter Randall- Page had a major retrospective exhibition at the yorkshire Sculpture Park whose website carries information about his work. The Public Art Sculpture that i went to, was "Talos 1950" by Michael Ayrton. The public piece is Bronze. And its situated in Guildhall Street. Talos is the legendary guardian of Minoan Crete. He was the giant man of Bronze who protected Europa in Crete. By depicting him without arms, Michael Ayrton portrays the anger and bewilderment felt by many of the post-war gen...

Eco Artists. Artists using recycled materials AURORA ROBSON - Sculptures using cut up plastic bottles and other discarded plastic.   MIWA KOIZUMI - uses a combination of cutting and heating plastic bottles to create stunning aquatic creatures.  Both artists who similar techniques within their work, the similarities between the two artists is that, they're Eco artists, they use recycled materials, which is plastic, they cut up to make different forms in they' re work. The difference about Aurora and Miwa is that, Aurora makes sculptures and Miwa makes aquatic creatures, also she heats up the plastic bottles and Aurora only cuts them. I like how Aurora makes the sculptures by cutting old plastic, and i like how Miwa uses the technique of heating up, the plastic starts to melt and it makes various forms which i like the idea.     JILL TOWNSLEY Spoon and Glove Art April 12, 2008 The first picture, of Jill Townsley's wor...
