Sculpture
is the act and art of making three-dimensional works of art such as statues. It is an artwork created by shaping or combining
hard materials. Softer materials can also be used such as plastic, clay and
polymer. There are many different types of sculptures some examples are relief,
free-standing, linear, kinetic, and assemblage. Sculpture is one of the oldest art forms and
its history can stretch back from early civilization. Over the years the styles of sculptures have
changed into different types and are now starting to reflect the current trends
of the period. The methods that are used
in sculpture to reflect the time periods are known as carving, modeling,
casting, and construction. In Reality through the Arts Dennis J. Sporre
calls these methods subtraction, substitution and manipulation (70). The video
below shows a head being sculptured and the man is demonstrating all the
methods of sculpture and how it turns out in the end.
