Bronze casting process I A modern take on Rodin's work

i guess the british museum too busy stealing shit to afford a narrator for this video

Wait but so your telling me that the Egyptians had machines as part of the process of making these statues?? I'm missing something here now

You skipped the whole part from the sculpted clay to suddenly using a silicon mould that has wax pured in it. How to make that mould?? Useless video :/

Knowing that ancient Romans or Greeks were using this method thousands of years ago is just mindblowing...

this video is creepy and weid and im doing this in art class im force to watch this

Why the 🟧⬛ theme

thank you

Oh, they've encased him in carbonite, he should be quite well protected.

This is really cool, I always wondered how they were able to have do much detail in metal!

Beautiful

Help,, what is the brand of ceramic powder, any reccomendation??

I still don't understand. Obviously I am stupid or the video is poorly made.

Why keep colonial and stolen works, if you can do it yourself 🖖

Does anyone know what is the type of clay used here? Thank you in advance.

It’s an amazing process.

What did they use before silicon? A plaster mold?

missed the most important step: step 1!!!! why???

Interesting to see the process, but terrible artwork. 
Why do you bother to cast this crap in bronze in the first place?

I learned to sculpt, to create the moulds. to cast bronze, to apply the patina, so I do know what I am talking about and this "sculpture" was just the beginning of a three-year-learning process, absolutely no need spend time and money on casting it in bronze.

And BTW: Rodin didn't use sodium silicate moulds.

That mold material is silicone, not silicon. The British Museum should know the difference.

Wow. That is some process!

How does this method relate to the Benin Bronze tradition - one of the world's great Bronze making traditions and also something of which the British Museum has a lot.

In case anyone's not familiar with the process and would like to find out more, it's usually known as the "lost wax method", or "investment casting"

Really intersting process, but weird choice of music to go with it.

Should have done one of Irving Finkel.
