Sculpture is a visual art form where artists shape materials into three-dimensional artworks, utilizing techniques like carving, modeling, or assembling.
These materials range from wood, stone, and metal to clay. Sculptures encompass a spectrum from lifelike and figurative representations to abstract and conceptual forms, allowing artists to explore spatial relationships, textures, and forms to convey ideas, emotions, or narratives.
Examples include Michelangelo’s “David,” portraying human strength, and Henry Moore’s “Reclining Figure,” showcasing bold abstraction. Sculptures like those mentioned are typically displayed in galleries and museums, providing controlled environments that allow viewers to appreciate their intricate details and three-dimensional forms.
