Overview and quickfacts
Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. It is one of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling, or molded or cast.
The art style is also known as: Carving, statue, bust, relief
Categories: Impressionism, Modernism

Detailed Description
Sculpture is the art of creating three-dimensional forms from materials such as stone, metal, wood, or clay. It is one of the oldest art forms in the world, dating back to the days of ancient civilizations such as the Sumerians, Egyptians, and Greeks. Sculpture is a versatile art form that can be used to create everything from small trinkets to massive public monuments. Some of the most famous sculptures in the world include Michelangelo’s “David”, Auguste Rodin’s “The Thinker”, and the “Statue of Liberty”. Sculpture can be a very rewarding art form to pursue, both creatively and financially. Many famous sculptures have sold for millions of dollars at auction. If you’re interested in learning more about sculpture, there are plenty of resources available online and in libraries.
