18. WHY IS SCULPTURE AN ART?
Sculpture is a form of artistic expression that involves
modelling, sculpting or carving stone, wood or other
materials. Sculpture is considered one of the 7 arts,
alongside music, painting and dance, and sculptors can
use it to express themselves through the use of
volume and space.

DO YOU DEFINE SCULPTUR
E
?
sculpture, an artistic form in which hard or plastic
materials are worked into three-dimensional art
objects. The designs may be embodied in
freestanding objects, in reliefs on surfaces, or in
environments ranging from tableaux to contexts that
envelop the spectator.
21. Sculpture is
the branch of
the visual arts
that operates
in three
dimensions. It
is one of the
plastic arts.
Durable sculptural processes originally used carving
and modelling; in stones, metals, ceramics, woods and
other materials but, since Modernism, there has been
an almost complete freedom of materials and process.
In contrast to painting, sculpture has three
dimensions – height, width, and depth. It is created by
either carving, modelling, or assembling parts
together
23. This is a kind of sculpture that
can independently stand in
space. It has a flat horizontal
base. All its sides contribute to
the overall form of the
sculpture.
FREE-STANDING
24. RELIEF
This kind of sculpture does
not have a flat horizontal
base.The form is projected
from a flat surface. There are
two types of relief – low relief
or bas-relief which is slightly
from the flat surface; and high
relief. Cagayan de Oro’s
Legendary River Monster is
an example of relief sculpture.
25. ASSEMBLAGE
This sculpture is formed by
putting together materials
such as found objects,
pieces of paper, sponges,
wood scraps, and other
materials. A good example
of this is Lamberto
Hechanova’s Man and
Woman.
26. KINETIC SCULPTURE
This is considered as a
sculpture in motion
because the entire
sculpture or some parts
of the sculpture are
moving with the wind or
are vibrating with the..
surrounding air
27. Creating these sculptures
involve the process of
connecting sheets of
metal together by using an
acetylene or electric torch
