Sculpture is the practice of creating three-dimensional artworks that are intended to be viewed from multiple angles. Sculptures can be made from a variety of materials, including stone, metal, wood, clay, plaster, and found objects. Sculptors use a variety of techniques to shape their materials, including carving, casting, welding, and assembling. Sculptures can be representational or abstract, and can take a wide range of forms, from figurative works to abstract geometric shapes. Sculpture has a rich history that spans from ancient times to the present day and has been used for a wide range of purposes, including religious, political, and artistic expression. By studying visual art sculpture, scholars gain insights into the ways in which artists are exploring the physical properties of materials and creating works that engage with the viewer in a unique and compelling way.
