Using Beach Shades As Art
Using Beach Shades As Art
When one thinks of art, rarely does functionality come to mind as well. While there are a lot of functional things that have been made artistic, most artistic things are not functional in nature, nor are they usually reasonable in price. A Ferrari is usually very artistic, and has function, but is almost always incredibly expensive. Glass sculptures are often very beautiful, and may not have a lot of cost involved, but rarely do they serve a useful function. And the last place most people would consider looking for artistic, as well as functional satisfaction, is with umbrellas used as beach, pool or patio shades. Quite simply, having protection from the sun in an artistic manner just doesn't seem to have a smooth juxtaposition. But new levels of art have been applied to sun blocking structures and have been termed "shade sculpture".This art form combines the functional need to protect one from the harsh, burning rays of the sun while having an artistic shape. While some would say that existing tents, umbrellas and pagodas have a certain level of artistic satisfaction already, others would disagree. And rightly so. Umbrellas and tents definitely have a certain flow and shape to them, however they do not have much in the way of being unique: as some type of dome or overhanging edifice to deflect the sun away. But applying artistic sensibilities to this concept now leads to amazingly beautiful, and functional, structures.While the concepts to apply artistic forms to umbrellas and tents may have been around for decades, or even centuries in some areas, only now has the technology gotten to the point where these structures can be built. Superior strength aluminum and lightweight materials have enabled artisans to not only design truly artistic pieces of sculpture, but have allowed them to be created and built. This allows everyone the chance to enjoy the beauty while being protected from a high grade umbrella or sun shade. With these new materials, the flights of fancy that artists have envisioned can now be put into engineering specs and fabricated, bringing those flights of fancy into beautiful reality.The form used is no longer totally dictated by functionality. "Shade sculptures" can now be a reality for those who want sun protection combined with an artistic flair.
