2. What is Sculpture? “In my opinion, everything, every shape, every bit of natural form, animals, people, pebbles, shells, anything you like are all things that can help you to make a sculpture.” --Henry Moore SCULPTURE is a three-dimensional form created by carving, modelling, construction or assembling materials. Hard materials such as stone, marble, metal, glass or wood, or plastic materials such as clay, plaster, textiles, polymers, soap and paper etc can be used to create three-dimensional forms (artwork). Sculpture is a three-dimensional form created by carving, modelling, construction or assembling materials. Henry Moore, Reclining Nude , 1951

4. TYPES OF SCULPTURE A relief is a Sculpture that projects in varying degrees from a flat background or surface. It is seen only from one particular angle (a frontal view). There are three (3) types: 1. RELIEF SCULPTURE Low Relief High Relief Sunken Relief

5. LOW RELIEF The figures are slightly raised from the surface or the background. Also referred to as ‘Bas Relief’.

6. HIGH RELIEF Sculpture that projects or stands out from the background by at least half its depth. Sometimes they are nearly sculpted in the round.

7. SUNKEN RELIEF Relief that is carved or sunken down into the background. Also known as incised or Intaglio. It is created by carving. Relief sculptures are created using the subtractive process of carving.

8. 2. SCULPTURE IN-THE-ROUND Also known as Free standing Sculpture Sculpture that exists in a three-dimensional space that can be viewed from all angles. Free standing works. You can walk around it.

9. Sculptures in-the-round or free standing sculptures can be created using both the additive (modeling, casting) and subtractive processes (carving). Carving Modeling Casting

10. 3. ASSEMBLAGE A ‘modern’ type of Sculpture. An Assemblage sculpture is the assembling or putting together of found objects to create a work of art. The objects are either related or unrelated to each other. Referred to as a three-dimensional collage . Assemblages are created by gluing, soldering, welding, pasting, riveting, nailing etc. Assemblages are created using the Additive method of Constructing.

11. 4. KINETIC / MOBILE SCULPTURE Is a free-standing Sculpture that moves. The movement is by mechanical power or by wind or water power. Kinetic Sculpture is free-standing sculpture that moves, either by mechanical power or under the power of wind or water. Fountains are a form of kinetic sculpture, although in that special case the sculpture is not powered by the water but lives within the shapes and forms of the water as it arcs over and through the air. Best examples are those which are suspended on or in air. Mobiles are created using the Additive method of Constructing.

12. 5. INSTALLATIONS A ‘modern’ type of Sculpture. Sculptures created using various materials that may be permanent and are not confined to gallery spaces. Installations are sculptural artworks that transform an entire space into a work of art. They are designed to fit into a particular space. They interact with the public environment as the viewer needs to walk through the piece to experience it. Installations are created using the Additive method of Constructing .
