What is Sculpture?

Sculpture is three-dimensional art. Traditionally, there are two main methods: carving material such as wood or stone, and modeling forms by adding pieces of material such as clay.

1. Relief Sculpture

Sculpture in which forms project out from a flat surface. The degree of projection ranges from high to low relief.

Site-specific, three-dimensional works designed to transform the perception of a space. Installation art can be either temporary or permanent. Installation artworks have been constructed in

exhibition spaces such as museums and galleries, as well as public- and private spaces

4. Kenetic Sculpture

Kinetic art is art that contains moving parts or depends on motion for its effect. The moving parts are generally powered by wind, a motor or the observer.
