Monthly Folding Challenge - July 2009
Hello!
I beg your pardon that I publish this too early but I'm not sure that I'll be online the fist of July.
The theme of the challenge will be the Famous Sculpture
This may be any good known sculptural monuments:
If you can not fold you model from one sheet take two or five, especially if original sculpture is for instance quadriga. The main thing must be the likeness and the beauty!
Please attach the photo and the name of original masterpiece.
Happy folding to you!

Well, let the statue be well known at least in your country or city.
And then if you attach very clear photos and detailed description of the statue, if your work will answer the main requirements (likeness and beauty), then you certainly may hope to reap the laurels.

I agree, it would be nice if the competition was also open to abstract and non-representational works (ooh, an origami representation of a non-representational sculpture, that's something to wrap your head around)... though I'm not sure the Eiffel Tower qualifies as sculpture.spiritofcat wrote:All the example photos are of people and animals.
Do non-organic sculptures also qualify? The Eiffel Tower for example?

The Eiffel Tower should be allowed, after all, it stands in the same league as the statue of liberty, which can be found in one of Victoria's pictures.
Smile and say...cheese!!!

It has always been my understanding that the Eiffel Tower was a piece of sculpture first and foremost, and a building only in a secondary sense.
Does the tower serve any real purpose other than art? It doesn't contain offices or anything like other tall buildings do.
Also perhaps we should look at the difference between Sculpture and Statue.
Victoria's post only uses the word Sculpture, which as far as I understand is a broader category than Statue. All the photos shown as examples are statues though.

I've heard that it was originally planned to be fully build (rick, concrete and everything), but it wasn't ready for the schedule exposition to take place underneath it. So they left it only in meta structure.Ragnorax wrote:Theres actually a restraunt in the eiffel tower
Please disagree with me if I'm wrong.
Well, okay... but only because you asked nicely.
The tower was completed in time for the 1889 Exposition Universelle. It was never intended to be surfaced with brick or concrete... in fact, it was never intended to stand for more than 20 years. This is one of the reasons it was made the way it was, so it would be easy to take down once its 20 years were up. I guess it just grew on the people of Paris and they decided not to get rid of it.
