defined as the artistic carving ore removing hair lengths to create various forms and shapes

the hair is viewed as if it is standing straight out from the head in order to identify the structure and how it was created

identify the detail in the texture or surface appearance

identify the basic form or shape by simply observing the outer boundary or silhouette known as the form line

arrangement of lengths across the curves of the head

diagram that provides an abstract view of the length arrangement to scale and proportion. Serves as blueprint for final graphic.

two basic ways of analyzing hair sculpture

natural fall & natural projection

hair as the lengths lay or fall naturally over the curves of the head, describes the length or level to which the hair falls on the anatomy such as the ear lobe, chin or neck

hair is viewed abstractly as if it were projected at a 90 degree angle from the various curves of the head.

solid, graduated, increase-layered, uniformly layered

created by the concentration of length within a given area.

consists of lengths that progress from shorter in the exterior to longer in the interior. 0 degree cut

solid form characteristics

blue, rectangle, unactivated, shorter exterior progressing to longer interior, maximum weight develops at the form line to the same level

consists of shorter exterior lengths that gradually progress toward longer interior lengths 45 degree angle cut

graduated form characteristics

yellow, triangle, unactivated/activated, short exterior gradually progressing to longer interior, weight is found above the perimeter form line, where the unactivated and activated textures meet.

increase-layered form

consist of shorter interior lengths that progress toward longer exterior lengths.

increase-layered form characteristics

red, oval, activated, shorter interior progressing to longer exterior, no concentration of weight since lengths disperse across the curves of the head.

uniformly layered form

has consistent lengths throughout the design 90 degree cut.

uniformly layered form characteristics

green, circular, activated, same length throughout, no concentration of weight since lengths disperse across the curves of the head

color-coded yellow, is a very short version of the graduated form. shorter exterior lengths gradually progress to longer interior lengths and are generally combined with other forms.

include two or more of the four basic forms within a sculpture.

Question	Answer
Hair Sculpting	defined as the artistic carving ore removing hair lengths to create various forms and shapes
abstract	the hair is viewed as if it is standing straight out from the head in order to identify the structure and how it was created
detail	identify the detail in the texture or surface appearance
basic	identify the basic form or shape by simply observing the outer boundary or silhouette known as the form line
structure	arrangement of lengths across the curves of the head
structure graphic	diagram that provides an abstract view of the length arrangement to scale and proportion. Serves as blueprint for final graphic.
two basic ways of analyzing hair sculpture	natural fall & natural projection
Natural fall	hair as the lengths lay or fall naturally over the curves of the head, describes the length or level to which the hair falls on the anatomy such as the ear lobe, chin or neck
normal projection	hair is viewed abstractly as if it were projected at a 90 degree angle from the various curves of the head.
Four Basic Forms are	solid, graduated, increase-layered, uniformly layered
weight	created by the concentration of length within a given area.
solid form	consists of lengths that progress from shorter in the exterior to longer in the interior. 0 degree cut
solid form characteristics	blue, rectangle, unactivated, shorter exterior progressing to longer interior, maximum weight develops at the form line to the same level
graduated form	consists of shorter exterior lengths that gradually progress toward longer interior lengths 45 degree angle cut
graduated form characteristics	yellow, triangle, unactivated/activated, short exterior gradually progressing to longer interior, weight is found above the perimeter form line, where the unactivated and activated textures meet.
increase-layered form	consist of shorter interior lengths that progress toward longer exterior lengths.
increase-layered form characteristics	red, oval, activated, shorter interior progressing to longer exterior, no concentration of weight since lengths disperse across the curves of the head.
uniformly layered form	has consistent lengths throughout the design 90 degree cut.
uniformly layered form characteristics	green, circular, activated, same length throughout, no concentration of weight since lengths disperse across the curves of the head
Gradation	color-coded yellow, is a very short version of the graduated form. shorter exterior lengths gradually progress to longer interior lengths and are generally combined with other forms.
combination forms	include two or more of the four basic forms within a sculpture.
