Abstract

This study investigates the impact of integrating kinetic dynamics into creating sculptures and pottery to enhance structural stability and artistic form. Traditional methods often prioritize aesthetics over structural resilience, whereas this research aims to assess whether kinetic principles can improve both aspects. Art pieces were divided into two groups: one created using traditional techniques (Control Group) and another using kinetic dynamics (experimental group). Key variables such as stress resistance, load capacity, aesthetic fluidity, and durability under environmental stressors were measured. The experimental group exhibited a significant improvement in stress resistance, with a mean increase of 22.4% compared to the Control Group (p = 0.0001). Aesthetic fluidity scores were also higher in the experimental group, averaging 8.6 compared to 7.0 in the Control Group (p = 0.00001). Additionally, the experimental group demonstrated superior durability, with a 16.7% increase in strength retention under humidity, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical vibrations (p = 0.00001). These key findings suggest that integrating kinetic dynamics enhances the structural integrity of sculptures and pottery and improves their aesthetic appeal and environmental resilience. The results provide a compelling case for applying kinetic principles in art, offering new opportunities for artists to create visually striking and durable works.
