SCULPTURE

SCULPTURE is three-dimensional artwork created by shaping or combining hard materials, typically stone such as marble, metal, glass, or wood, or plastic materials such as clay, textiles, polymers and softer metals. The term has been extended to works including sound, text and light.

Types of sculpture
1. Free-standing sculpture is surrounded on all sides, except the base, by space. It is also known as sculpture "in the round", and is meant to be viewed from any angle. One that is clear of buildings or structures. a. bust representation of a person from the chest up b. equestrian - typically showing a significant person on horseback

2. Sound sculpture is an intermedia and time based artform in which sculpture or any kind of art object produces sound, or the reverse (in the sense that sound is manipulated in such a way as to create a sculptural as opposed to temporal form or mass).

2. Sound sculpture is an intermedia and time based artform in which sculpture or any kind of art object produces sound, or the reverse (in the sense that sound is manipulated in such a way as to create a sculptural as opposed to temporal form or mass).

3. Light sculpture is an intermedia and time based artform in which sculpture or any kind of art object produces light, or the reverse (in the sense that light is manipulated in such a way as to create a sculptural as opposed to temporal form or mass).

4. Jewelry 5. Relief - the sculpture is still attached to a background a. bas-relief or low relief is the quality of a
projecting image where the overall depth is shallow. The background is very compressed or completely flat, as on most coins, on which all images are in lowrelief.

b. high relief is where the most prominent elements of the composition are undercut and rendered at more than 50% in the round against the background.

c. sunken-relief, also known as intaglio or hollowrelief, is where the image is made by carving into a flat surface - usually the images are mostly linear in nature.

6. Kinetic sculpture - involves aspects of physical motion.

a. fountain - the sculpture is designed with moving water b. mobile - constructed to take advantage of the principle of equilibrium. It consists of a number of rods, from which weighted objects or further rods hang. The objects hanging from the rods balance each other.

7. Stacked Art a form of sculpture formed by assembling objects and stacking them

FEATURE OF A SCULPTURE

1. LINE features are the shape of piece of arts. Lines could be horizontal, vertical and diagonal. This lines leads the viewer eyes full perspective of the subject of the sculpture

2. COLOR is generally referred to as its property hue and value.

3. TEXTURE refers to the way the objects feel to the touch. 4. VOLUME means solidity or thickness. A sculpture is concerned with volume because it occupies space.

5. PERSPECTIVE refers to depth or distance. The two features of perspective are linear and aerial. Linear perspective means that the figures become smaller as they recede into the distance. Aerial perspective means that a figure becomes fainter or less visible in the distance.

6. FORM refers to overall design

7. STYLE shows the artists individuality
