This document provides an overview of sculpture, including its definition, techniques, materials, and types. Sculpture is defined as three-dimensional visual art that can be viewed from multiple sides. There are two main processes - subtractive, where unwanted material is removed, and additive, where material is added to build up a shape. Common sculpting techniques include carving, modeling, casting, and construction, while common materials include stone, wood, terra cotta, and bronze. The main types of sculpture discussed are relief, free-standing, and kinetic/mobile sculptures.

It refers to the creation of three-dimensional figures, forms designs from a single block mass of materials. • the action or art of processing (as by carving, modeling, or welding) plastic or hard materials into works of art • Sculpture may be the oldest of the arts Sculpture

- 8. Sculpture Carving Subtractive process: materialis removed Mainly wood and stone (marble)
- 9. Sculpture Modeling Additive process: materialis added to build up a shape Clay, wax, plaster, paper-mache
- 10. Sculpture Casting: a moldis used to form molten bronze(or other material) into a desired shape.

- 15. MATERIAL USE INSCULPTURE
- 16. Materials use inSculpture 1. Stone- hard and durable, weather and fire resistant, but is heavy and durable. a) Basalt and Diorite (black and hard) b) Marble (finely-grained, with crystalline sparkle) c) Granite- (tough, coarse-grained but suitable for bold effects) d) Limestone- (Softer)
- 17. 2. Wood- lighter,softer, and cheaper, and easy to cut. 3. Terra Cotta- which means “ baked earth” is made by firing clay, as in pottery making. 4. Bronze- is solid and too expensive. The difficult process of casting bronze is one of its disadvantages.
