| Abstract | ||||
| In light of the scientific and technological development and the strong dominance of the innovations of thought in the field of techniques and the manufacture and formation of raw materials, it was necessary for the plastic artist, especially the sculptor, to wonder and constantly search for new formulations and techniques through which he produces innovative formulations and bodies characterized by accuracy and high technology, in line with and keep pace with this technological knee, which has clearly affected the artistic and plastic methods of many artists who resorted to machine technology and its plastic capabilities in expressing their ideas and expressions in the field of sculpture There is no longer a need to waste time and effort in dealing with hard and heavy materials and very difficult to form as long as there are technological alternatives and media through which it can be used as a tool to express and implement ideas This study focuses on the activities of the reciprocal interaction between stereoscopic design and application based on technology engineering to overcome many and complex problems that take place within the processes of stereoscopic design, despite the abundance of parametric design solutions, but there is a limited understanding of the generative and evolutionary aspects of parametric design and the role of creativity in these designs, whether as a process or product, depends on problem solving, imagination and renewal, as design activities require a solution to problems, which were characterized as a cognitive process, creativity must be a component Natural for the sculptural design process, process and knowledge are central ideas. Therefore, the technology of machines and machines specialized in drilling on raw materials, including router machines, which are varied and multiple according to the specifications, nature and shape of the techniques to be achieved, as well as the required dimensions and many methods of formation and engraving, so the current research has taken a path towards how to use the technology of machines and drilling machines on raw materials as one of the methods of formation in the field of sculpture to develop new techniques and formulations And focus on the use of computer programs in the definition of the structural foundations of the shapes and then choose the most appropriate designs, then comes the stage of linking the design with the technique of parametric implementation to give the sculptural form its aesthetic character. Acrylic is one of the plastic materials that can be reconstituted by thermoplastic , a material with characteristics that make it suitable for vacuum expression in different ways from other materials, it is highly transparent, but it is considered one of the most plastics to achieve the element of transparency and has high transmittance to light to the point that sometimes exceeds glass, and is characterized by its ability to attract light, and then the artist can use the light transmitted through this material as a plastic element that achieves new plastic capabilities that add other dimensions For spatial expression, colored light can thus enter as a moving element in the sculptural work by controlling its paths, degrees and rhythms. Therefore, we look forward through the current research to try to employ acrylic material in the art of sculpture in the formulation of contemporary plastic using the appropriate new technology. | ||||
