Customer Reviews

recommended for aspiring art teachers only

This version of "Sculpture: Technique, Form, Content", is a little deceptive. It is, in actuality, a teacher's guide for the text bearing the same name. I received this copy as a gift from a family member who didn't know this fact and pleasantly surprised me. As an aspiring secondary level art teacher myself, I found Mr. William's suggestions on the use of his text to be well thought out, but not overbearing. The paperback and hardcover editions of the text are both out of print and difficult to locate, although quite worthwhile. This book is an excellent companion title for the text.

It was an in depth book on technique and content.

I found this book to be a sculptor's handbook to clear and concise references. It provides a basic introduction to beginning sculpture students, as well as, providing high quality information for the professional sculptor. It covers basics like stone carving, mold making and metal castings. I would recommend this book to all artists pursuing sculptor as a medium.
