The Art of Outdoor Sculpture
What makes a good outdoor sculpture? Janice Kluge, MFA, UAB associate professor of art, says it is usually a combination of elements that make a sculpture pleasing. "While many people just look at the form or color of a sculpture, they should also take into account how the work is mounted, what it is surrounded by and does it utilize the surrounding elements." In an upcoming installation of a biodegradable work on the campus of UAB, students will help create a sculpture with artist Steven Seigel from New York.
According to Kluge, assisting an established artist is critical for students because they get a better understanding of the creative process and how outdoor sculpture can work with its environment.
