• Sculpture is a three dimensional work of art.
• Sculpture is art that is designed to occupy space.
• In this process, a soft, pliable material is built up and shaped. Media such as clay or wax are used in modeling.
• Because the sculptor gradually adds more material to build a form, modeling is referred to as an additive process .
• In carving, the sculptor cuts, chips, or drills from a solid mass of material to create a sculpture.
Material is removed until the sculpture is completed.
• Carving is called a subtractive process.
• Wood and stone are the most common carving media.
• In casting, molten metal or another substance (plaster, cement, etc.) is poured into a mold and allowed to harden.
• The artist can them make duplicates of the same form over and over again.
• In this process, a variety of different materials are gathered and joined together to make a sculpture.
• Media can be welded, glued, sewn or otherwise fitted together.
