 1. Carving: In carving, the sculptor starts with a block of material and cuts or
chips a shape from it. Often a hard material like stone is used.
 2. Casting: In casting, the sculptor starts by making a mold. He or she then
pours in a melted-down metal or some other liquid that will later harden.
 3. Modeling: In modeling, the sculptor builds and shapes a soft material. Clay
and fresh plaster are two such materials.
 4. Assembling: In assembling, also known as constructing, the sculptor glues or
in some other way joins together pieces of material.
