Weapon Engravings

629 Words3 Pages

Much like glass engraving, weapon engraving is a work of art. The engraver should begin by thinking of a specific design and practice either drawing it or having a stencil. There are countless design styles that I’ve seen in over 18 different countries. Some of the best engravings that I, have seen were in my tours of castles throughout Europe and even artwork engraved into shingles in Austria. One thing is for certain, when artwork is displayed anywhere and especially on weapons, it catches everyone’s attention.
I, first noticed how engraving items caught people’s attention when I, started engraving wine glasses as gifts. People immediately stopped and want to talk about the artwork. That was on glass, now imagine the beauty and added value

    Martinez is noted to have used special polishing stones to burnish her pottery. After polishing the vessel, someone paints a design on the vessel with another layer of the liquid clay. This shows as a matte design after the vessel is fired. Typically, artists would paint the negative space with the liquid clay so that the actual figures were glossy. Before Martinez’s husband passed away in 1943, he would paint the designs onto the vessels she expertly shaped.

  • Theodore De Brry Symbolism

    854 Words  | 4 Pages

    Introduction Metal engravings were common in the sixteenth century, in all probability because in those days, they were the easiest means of rendering multiple copies of an illustration. These engravings were made by using a sharp tool to engrave an image onto a thin metal sheet. The sheet was then smeared with ink and the engravings traced on the sheet to a paper. Creating copies for publication was potentially Theodore De Bry’s idea in engraving John White’s watercolors, which depicted the Native Indian life, in the sixteenth century. However, De Bry was not true to White’s depiction of the Native Indians in creating these engravings.

  • Dale Chhuly Persian Ceiling Analysis

    Dale piece the Persian ceiling is a beautiful piece the bright colors and the unusually shaped objects are just breath taking some pieces where flattened out and many of the shapes resemble jellyfish and other sea animals and it’s so amazing because it’s all glass nothing else. The glass used in the Persian are small, dense, and rare core-formed vessels that appeared during 1500B.C. in Egypt and again in 1300B.C. in Mesopotamia. Another pieces that I admire is the sculpture honoring Harriet Wyche. The sculpture is made of rose-colored Polyvitro, a material that Chihuly Studio creates by casting a special formula of polymer resins and dyes using molds formed from large “chunks” of glass. The Polyvitro elements are crystal-like in shape, and individual masses are attached to a central armature of powerful-coated, exterior-grade stainless steel to create a tower that is over eight feet tall.

  • Confederate Memorial Carving Essay

    Recently, our country has been under scrutiny for racial discrimination. From police brutality to shootings at a church, America’s racial problems that were swept under the rug for so long have come back out into the light. After the racially­motivated shooting of nine people in South Carolina, many petitions were made regarding the removal of Confederate flags and monuments, including the removal of the historic carving on the side of Stone Mountain, but I believe this would be a terrible mistake. The largest high relief sculpture in the world, the Confederate Memorial Carving, depicts three Confederate heroes of the Civil War, President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson.

    It is done by pricking small holes in the skin with a sharpened stick, bone, or needle that has been dipped in pigments with natural colours.” ( The World Book Encyclopedia, 2004). When someone mentions tattooing or tattoos, the first reason that comes to mind as to why someone would get a tattoo is that it was done for the aesthetic appeal, as a sort of piece of art done on the body, but now after looking at it using sociological imagination perspective, I realise that tattoos have very different meanings to those who have them.

  • Tattoos In The Post-Modern Era

    Tattoos played a major role in gender discrimination as well and incited cultural discourse and anxiety in society. In the Modern Era, in the USA, especially after World War II when women became involved in the home-front jobs, they started to break away from the traditional stereotypical woman image by getting tattoos; this created much anxiety in society, because it was bringing into question the separation between a burly, working man’s and a delicate, housekeeping woman’s disposition. After the sexual revolution in the 60s, “tattoos were… resurrected in the counterculture by women who were rethinking womanhood” (Mifflin 55). The Modern Era was the era of skepticism about occupations and responsibilities, like who should be the breadwinner
