blog  Towards a conceptual model for the domain of sculpture.

Nov 2011

For the next two years, I'll be collaborating with the Art of Making project. The project investigates the processes involved in the carving of stone during the Roman period. In particular, it aims to analyze them using the insights and understanding Peter Rockwell (son of Norman Rockwell) developed during his lifelong experience as a sculptor. Eventually, we will present these results through a freely accessible online digital resource that guides users through examples of stone carving. In this post, I just wanted to report on the very first discussions I had with the sculpture and art scholars I'm working with for the purpose of creating a shared model for this domain.
