The Research Into The Developing Tendency Of Modern Metal Sculpture

The fundamental purpose of sculpture is to satisfy a certain demand of people. In addition to their functions for practical use, the most important aspect of the sculpture is to satisfy the mental senses and aesthetic need of human beings. As metal sculpture in the realm of sculpture art, its materials and spatial features bring its effects into full play. Referring to the article dating from ancient metal sculpture to the research of modern metal sculpture, we can draw the conclusion that people emphasized on the theme and empiricism in the classic era while emphasizing more on ethics and the space, which shows the general law of the development of modern metal sculpture.Additionally, its specialty strengthened the practical significance of the metal sculpture works.This article adopts a great variety of methods analyzing various styles of metal sculpture and chooses to research and summarize the works of different civilization under views of a particular background of society and age. Meanwhile, through analyzing mass practical examples and combining the new characteristic reflected by the information age, it has done a research on feasibility. In summary, this passage mainly consists of 5 parts below:1. Setting the concept, usual form and characteristic of metal sculpture. Metal sculpture refers to all sculptures using metal as their material. Its ductility, plasticity, preciousness and luster lead to its significance of existence. Thus, its mysterious, regional and noble characteristics get fully reflected.2. The modern reformation of metal sculpture, resulting from the aim of metal sculpture art being turned to art itself, is one which occurs on the art constitution, thanks to the formalism of aesthetics.

Trend of liberalism. (3). Sense and Ethic. (4). Industrialization tendency.4. In the background of world culture, the creating tendency of modern metal sculpture consists of the study of ecological tendency, digital tendency, harmonious tendency, and public tendency.5. Based on the demand of the era, a close study is made of the creating tendency in the background of world culture. Starting with some aspects, such as science and technology, ecology, space, function, design, material, color, etc, we come up with our current designing theory, making creating samples more of features of the times, and meet the demand of the times.
