| dc.description.abstract | "Synthesis of Forms: The Adaptation of Benin Symbolic Objects into Non- Figurative Sculptures" is a practical studio project that involved the conceptualization, design and execution of sculpture in three dimensions. Motifs were employed as deliberate factor for aesthetics. The documentation of all concepts, techniques, finishes, photographic production of all executed pieces, and literary materials found valuable to this project are all included in this project report. The methods employed for the purpose of this study were developed through the descriptive approach and studio experiments. Twelve sculptures were executed. Specific sculpture materials at the disposal of the researcher were used. These include, cement, clay, plaster of Paris, polyester and fibre glass-resin. This project culminates in the exhibition of selected sculptures for gardens, living homes, roundabouts and strategic areas in the environment. viii | en_US |
