Art Terms

Here are some terms that are often used when describing Unique Cloth Sculptures by JaMax.

Abstract*: Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world.

Relief*: Relief is a sculptural technique. The term relief is from the Latin verb levo, to raise. To create a sculpture in relief is thus to give the impression that the sculpted material has been raised above the background plane.

Mixed Media*: Mixed media, in visual art, refers to an artwork in the making of which more than one medium has been employed.

Soft Sculpture*: Soft sculpture is a type of sculpture made using cloth, foam rubber, plastic, paper, fibers and similar material that are supple and nonrigid.

Cloth Sculpture: Cloth sculpture is a type of sculpture made using cloth, hand-folded to achieve the finished product.
