     Extractions: Arts and Crafts China has a wide variety of arts and crafts with exqui-site workmanship. They can be classified into special and folk types. Special arts and crafts, such as ivory carving, jade carving and Shoushan stone carving use precious or special materials, and undergo elaborate designing and processing. They are elegant and expensive. The following are famous special arts and crafts. The major ivory carving centers are Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai. Beijing is mainly famed for ivory carvings of figures of ladies, as well as flowers and birds. Guangzhou is well known for its exquisitely carved ivory balls. Shanghai is famous for its delicate ivory figures. The ivory carvings are exquisitely executed and lifelike. However, the technique of ivory carving is gradually declining for lack of materials. Jade carving takes into consideration the natural lines, luster and colors of jade. Craftsmen ingeniously integrate the colors with the shapes of the art works, fully displaying the glory of nature.

     Extractions: This is the classic method. You can find damp sand on any beach by digging through the upper dry sand. Just dig up the damp sand and pile it, packing each layer. At its simplest, you only need hands, to dig and pack. For bigger work, use a shovel or a lot of people or a bulldozer. Most of the sand you see in the really big castles is piled this way, with other techniques used for the detailed parts. This method is good for structures lacking big vertical walls or fine detail. You need a bucket for this. It's the same basic technique as the damp sand one, except you deliberately make the sand wetter. This helps it pack better, which makes the pile stronger. Dig up sand, add water and pack. Add sand and water until your pile is as big as you want. The resulting pile is reasonably uniform and can be carved with taller walls and more detail. This works best with fine sand. Beaches with fine sand tend to have more gradual slopes than coarse-sand ones. You want sand that forms a creamy slurry when mixed with water; if the sand settles too rapidly, it won't flow properly. You can either find slurry by digging in the beach below the high-tide line, or by mixing it in a bucket. If you dig for it, make sure you start building 2 or 3 feet from your borrow pit because its sides will fall in, gradually making the pit wider. Grab a handful of slurry, and let it run out between your fingers as you hold your hand steady. The slurry will hit the beach and build up into a stalagmite, which can be made tall and thin with enough care. Continue until these fantastic forms are as big as you want. The resulting pile is more solid than you can get with either of the above techniques, but is small. Dripping is best used for decoration; if you want a bigger pile, use the next method.

     Extractions: Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. Shepard Barbash's Oaxacan Woodcarving: The Magic in the Trees (Chronicle Books, 1993) is an exciting boot filled with photographs of whimsical, imaginative animal sculptures made by folk artists from the southern Mexico city of Oaxaca (pronounced Wa-HAH-ka). The book, which also contains biographical and technical information about the artists, was used to introduce Oaxacan sculpture and history to my fifth-grade class. During my presentation, I suggested that students think about a favorite animal or a pet that they would like to create in a life-sized sculpture.

Recent improvements in laser rangefinder technology, together with algorithms developed at Stanford for combining multiple range and color images, allow us to reliably and accurately digitize the external shape and surface characteristics of many physical objects. Examples include machine parts, cultural artifacts, and design models for the manufacturing, moviemaking, and video game industries. As an application of this technology, a team of 30 faculty, staff, and students from Stanford University and the University of Washington spent the 1998-99 academic year in Italy scanning the sculptures and architecture of Michelangelo. As a side project, we also scanned 1,163 fragments of the Forma Urbis Romae, a giant marble map of ancient Rome. We are currently back in the United States processing the data we acquired. Our goal is to produce a set of 3D computer models - one for each statue, architectural setting, and map fragment we scanned - and to make these models available to scholars worldwide.
