Sculpture can be created through four main methods: carving, modeling, casting, and construction. Carving involves removing material from wood or stone, modeling adds material like clay or plaster, casting uses molds to form molten materials, and construction assembles pieces through techniques like welding or gluing.

Sculpture is created in four basic ways:
• Carving
• Modeling
• Casting
• Construction

3. Sculpture
Carving:
Subtractive process: material is removed
Mainly wood and stone (marble)

4. Sculpture
Modeling:
Additive process: material is added
Clay, wax, plaster, paper-mache
