Hair Sculpture Techniques and Terminology

sculpture chapter#9 pivotpoint Question abstract Answer theorectical; not of concrete substance to adjust or fit to the individual's anatomical structure,growth patterns, hair density and adaptable lifestyle anatomy the science of bodily structure asymmetry lack of symmetry balance equilibrium of design elements; harmonious positioning of parts around a center axis. blend to meet or join both lines and textures can be blended or not blended in hair sculpture Celestial Axis a two-dimensional measurement system that identifies levels of space that surrounds the head lines horizontal,vertical,diagonal right, diagonal left angles o degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees direction upward, downward, forward, backward, left, right clipper-overa sculpting technique that achieves closeness to the head. A comb is used as a guide to hold the comb lengths while the hair protruding over the comb is sculpted with the clippers sculpting technique in which the teeth of the comb, as opposed to the fingers hold the hair in comb control position while sculpting; places minimal tension on the hair component an element; a simple part of elements to form a whole concave curved like the interior of a sphere concept a general idea or understanding especially one derived from specific instances or occurrences converge to come together toward a common point conversion the primary sculpting technique used in increase layering. Hair is directed to a stationary layering design line opposite the area of the desired length increase convex having a surface that curves outward like the exterior of a sphere Crest Area the widest part around the head it divides the interior from the exterior interior the area of the head above the crest exterior the area of the head below the crest a final stage in sculpting in which the accuracy of the sculpture is checked by using the line cross-check opposite the original sculpting pattern curvilinear characterized by curved lines density the degree to which any area is occupied the amount of hair per square centimeter design an arrangement of shaped, lines and ornamental effects that creates an artistic unit the determination made through proper consultation with the client in regard to the end result design decision of the hair design Design Element major components of an art form in hair design they are form, texture, and color Form a three-dimensional representation of shape Texture the quality of a surface influenced by sculpting techniques and curl patterns Color the visual effect achieved when light reflects off a given object Design Line the artistic pattern or length guide used while sculpting it can be mobile or stationary Mobile Design a length guide used in sculpting that moves throughout a given component area of the Line sculpture and serves as a design line to follow in creating the form stationary design a constant stable design line lengths are directed to this line in order to create a lengths are line directed to this line in order to create a length increase in the opposite direction Design principles arrangements or patterns for design elements to follow alternation sequential repetition contrast a desirable relationship of opposites, which creates variety and stimulates interest in a design progression a succession of lengths that increases or decreases by proportional steps repetition of identical nature throughout a unit identical in all ways except position diagonal a line with a slanted or sloping direction diagonal back a diagnonal line that travels away from the face resulting in a backward flow of hair diagonal forward a diagonal line that travels toward the face diagnonal left a diagnonal line that travels to the left diagnonal right direction distribution directional natural perpendicular shifted fade form line freehand sculpting fringe gradated graduated texture Graduation decreasing graduation increasing graduation parallel graduation Horizontal a diagonal line that travels to the right the path taken by a line or plane the direction the hair is combed in relation to its base partings there are four types of distribution: directional, natural, perpendicular and shifted the hair is combed straight up or straight out from the curve of the head the direction the hair assumes in relation to its natural growth patterns the direction hair assumes when it is combed at a 90 degree angle to its base parting the direction hair assumes when it is combed out of natural distribution in any direction but perpendicular to its base parting. shifting is primarly used for extreme lengths increases and blending in activated forms a sculpting technique in which the eye and hand are the only means of control the outline or outer boundary of a form technique in which the eye and hand are the only means of control hair that partially or completely covers the forehead in a design the fringe is one of the most variable portions of a style a progression of shorter lengths toward the top of the head creating an activated surface a progression of lengths in which the ends of the hair appear to stack upon one another it creates a combination of unactivated and activated sculpted texture the sculpting technique that produces a stacked effect in hair graduation within two nonparallel lines; diminishes as it moves back from the face graduation within two nonparallel lines; it increases as it moves back away from the face graduation within two parallel lines for an equally graduated effect throughout a given area near, on or parallel to the horizon texture in which the ends of the hair are most visible there are two types of layered textured : layered texture uniformly layered and increase layered line a series of points the angle at which graduation progresses in length the three basic types are low, medium, and line of inclination high mass the quantity of matter in any given body multiple design two or more stationary design lines used with a conversion layering technique to achieve lines increase-layered texture natural fall the natural position the hair assumes due to gravitational pull nonparallel angling your fingers in any direction other than parallel to your base parting while sculpting sculpting hair held uniformly at 90 degrees in relation to the position of the head normal projection normal projection views are used to analyze the structure of a sculpture of a sculpture it is also the projection angle at which uniform layering is performed one-finger a projection angle equal to the width of one finger projection parallel a line or point on a line that maintains an equal distance from another line or point parallel sculpting a technique in which a section is sculpted parallel to its base parting perimeter circumference border or outer boundary the hair around the hairline a parting pattern that radiates from a central point and conforms to the curve of the head pivotal parting allows easy sculpting around the crown creates triangular sections planar sculpting a technique in which the lengths are sculpted along a plane plane a surface containing every line connecting any two points lying within it any flat or level surface project to extend forward or out projection the angle the hair is held in relation to the curve of the head while sculpting zero flat to the surface of the head the position the hair assumes due to gravitational pull this may be 0degrees in some of the natural fall head high above 60degrees or below 90degrees medium above 30degrees or below 60degrees low proportion qualitative analysis quantitative analysis razor etching rectinlinear ridge line seven sculpting procedures sectioning head position parting projection finger/shear position design line shape shear-over-comb silhouette slide cutting space structure structure graphic solid form graduated form gradated form (gradation) increased-layered form uniformly layered form combination form planar form surface symmetrical symmetry tapering shears tension texture above 0degrees or below 30degrees the relationship between things or parts of things in respect to comparative magnitude quantity or degree to list all the parts of a whole determining the amount of each part and the proportion of the parts to the whole a razor sculpting technique in which lenth is removed with a short razor stroke performed on the ends of the hair characterized by straight lines usually more adaptable to men because straight lines are considered more masculine than curved lines square forms are considered rectilinear the line that divides two textures in graduated forms sequential steps used to perform a hair sculpture dividing the head into workable areas for control the position of the clients head while sculpting lines that subdivide the sections to separate distribute and control in relation to its base parting the angle at which the hair is held while sculpting the finger position and the sculpted line in relation to the parting pattern the artistic pattern or length guide used while sculpting it can be stationary or mobile the contour of an object in hair sculpture shape implies two dimensions a sculpting technique that achieves closeness to the head a comb is used as a guide to hold the lengths in position for sculpting the angle of the comb determines the amount of length removed the outer contour of an object or design sculpting technique in which the shank of the shears slides along the strand to remove length vertically often used when rapid length increases are desired a coninuum in three dimensions distance extending without limit in all directions the arrangement of lengths across the curve of the head a diagram that represents the proportional relationship of the lengths within a sculpture as they occur across the curve of the head this graphic serves as a blueprint for the final sculpture the structure graphics that identify the length arrangements a lenth progression that increases toward the top of the head with all lengths falling to the same level in natural fall produces an unactivated sculpted texture it is color-coded blue a form in which the lengths gradually become longer toward the interior in natural fall the ends stack above one another produces an unactivated and activated sculpture texture it is colorcoded yellow a very short graduated form that gradually progresses in length toward the top of the head produces an activated sculpted texture it is color-coded yellow a form in which lengths becom progressively linger toward the exterior produces an activated sculpted texture it is color coded red a form in which all lengths are equal produces an activated sculpted texture it is color coded green a form in which two or more basic forms are combined by using different techniques or by sculpting along a plane a combination form that is the result of sculpting along horizontal and/or vertical planes multiple forms occur automatically due to the curves of the head short planar forms are also called square forms the outer or the topmost boundary of an object the boundary of any three dimensional figure a balanced or harmonious arrangement having equal sides or parts a tool used for irregular removal of lengths within a form one blade is straight and the other is serrated these shears include taper 8(teeth are spaced 1/8" apart),taper 16 (teeth are spaced 1/16 apart) and taper 32 (teeth are spaced 1/32" apart). the art of stretching or the condition of being stretched the quality of a surface influenced by sculpting techniques and curl patterns may be unactivated activated or a combination sculpted texture unactivated activated combination texture achieved through sculpting a smooth surface in which the ends are not visible a rough hair surface in which the ends are visible unactivated and activated surface sculpting at the perimeter or within the form to achieve textural qualities desigh mobility or texturizing expansion contour tapering texturizing technique that reduces hair density to achieve a degree of closeness within a form expansion texturizing technique that produces volume through sculpting shorter lengths which then tapering support the longer ones within a form technique that reduces the concentration of bulk or weight at the ends encouraging form line tapering texturizing mobility notching technique used to create irregular lengths usually for a chunkier texture at the hair ends a texturizing technique in which the tips of straight shears are moved from the fingers toward pointing the ends a texturizing technique in which a comb and razor are rotated with light pressure in a circular razor rotation motion to reduce bulk and blend the form a texturizing technique in which the open shears glide along the surface of the hair to achieve slicing mobility threehaving length width and width(flat) dimensional uniformly layered a totally activated surface created by uniform length throughout texture vertical upright perpendicular to the horizon volume mass or fullness weight mass in form and space also the lenth concentration in a hair design weight area the area within a sculpture where there is a concentration of longer lengths intervals of 2"(5cm) that echo out in space from the curve of the head and are used to analyze zone hair lengths
