Sculpture involves shaping or combining materials in three dimensions. It can involve carving material away or adding material. Anish Kapoor is known for creating large-scale sculptures, including Orbit, the tallest sculpture in the UK at 115 meters tall. Michael Salter also works in sculpture, using recycled foam to create robotic forms. In a classroom, students worked on sculptural lessons using cardboard and foamcore, constructing pieces through slots and painting them with bright colors.
