Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. Traditionally, sculptural process have focused on carving and modelling, generally in stone, metal, and wood, but since modernism shifts in sculptural process have led to an almost complete freedom of materials and process. The Western tradition of sculpture began in Ancient Greece, and Greece is widely seen as a producing great masterpieces in the classical period. During the Middle Ages, Gothic sculpture represented the agonies and passions of the Christian faith. The revival of classical models in the Renaissance produced famous sculptures like Michelangelo's David. Modernist sculpture moved away from traditional processes and the emphasis on the depiction of the human body, with the making of constructed sculpture, and the presentation of found objects as finished art works.
Materials may be worked by removal such as carving; or they may be assembled such as by welding, hardened such as by firing, or molded or cast. Surface decoration such as paint may be applied. Sculpture has been described as one of the plastic arts because it can involve the use of materials that can be moulded or modulated. Found objects may be presented as sculptures.
Scott McCloud (born Scott McLeod on June 10, 1960) is an American cartoonist and theorist on comics as a distinct literary and artistic medium. He is most notable for his non-fiction books about comics, Understanding Comics, Reinventing Comics and Making Comics, for which he has been called the "Marshall McLuhan of comics".
McCloud was born in 1960 in Boston, Massachusetts, and spent most of his childhood in Lexington, Massachusetts. He decided he wanted to be a comics artist in 1975, during his junior year in high school. When it came time to look for a college that fit his career goals, the one that offered a program closest to his career goals was Syracuse University's Illustration program. He selected that school and area of major, and graduated from Syracuse with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1982.
McCloud created the light-hearted science fiction/superhero comic book series Zot! in 1984, in part as a reaction to the increasingly grim direction that superhero comics were taking in the 1980s.

Plot
Mythopoesis is a word that describes a time of social upheaval. It is a time ripe for new gods and myths to be born while the old gods and myths die away. To quote the film's Narrator God, 'We are now living in a time that most psychologists, mythologists, and anthropologists believe to be the most mythopoeic time in mankind's history.' Mythopoeic Times is about idea creation and belief systems. The film empowers and inspires by following four men who call themselves the Kenny La Roche Artist and Adventure Theologians. They question and protest authority in a smart, creative and unusual way by constructing elaborate large-scale art installations in seldom seen areas of the natural landscape in order to manifest a mythology they have created
Plot
An intellectual and farcical comedy that fades up on a New York cafe & bar, bustling with hipsters, poets, and posers. Our main man, Joseph, steps up to the mic and begins a Network-style self-important rant about the twenty-something generation. Joseph's problem is with his own generation of bored, unhappy cynics. He thinks the hipster generation is so preoccupied with being cool, that they won't believe in anything. But Joe doesn't want to be jaded anymore, so he's going to start a cult of sincerity. He wants to find something to believe in, something simple enough to put on a T-shirt. Reminiscent of Don Quixote, Joseph sets out to find the most genuine thing you could ever say to anyone. And secretly, Joseph's trying to get his divorced parents back together. Joseph immediately starts trying to be "true-blue," by opening doors for strangers, planting trees in the city, and apologizing to anyone who'll listen for things like chauvinism, sarcasm, and fascism. Along the way, he meets a cast of sleazy music agents, oversexed nihilists, pretentious filmmakers, and finally, an elderly woman who shows him that simplicity doesn't mean stupidity. But by then it's too late. "The cult of sincerity" has been appropriated by Joseph's community as the next hip-status movement. Joe finds himself in the same café as before, surrounded by "cult" buttons, trucker hats, and phony fans. And Joe must now decide between fake sincerity and genuine mistrust. The Cult of Sincerity is the witty exploration of changing friendships, permanent regrets, and hope in the age of irony.
