Sculpture
• Sculpture comes from Latin word “Sculpere” – meaning to carve. It refers to the creation of three-dimensional figures, forms designs from a single block mass of materials.
• Sculpture may be the oldest of the arts.

Sculpture
There are two major sculptural processes:
1.Subtractive- unwanted materials is cut away
2.Additive- construction of a figure by putting together.

Sculptural Techniques
Sculpture is created in four basic ways:
• Carving
• Modeling
• Casting
• Construction

SculptureCarving
Subtractive process: material is removed
Mainly wood and stone (marble)

SculptureModeling
Additive process: material is added to build up a shape
Clay, wax, plaster, paper-mache

SculptureCasting: a mold is used to form molten bronze(or other material) into a desired shape.

SculptureCasting: “Lost wax” method or cire-perdue, often used for jewelry or small sculptures

SculptureConstruction:
Additive process; welding, gluing, nailing materials together.

Characteristics of the Materials use in
Sculpture
![Page 16: Sculpture](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062704/55588ccad8b42a5d328b5447/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Materials use in Sculpture
1. Stone- hard and durable, weather and fire resistant, but is heavy and durable.
a) Basalt and Diorite (black and hard)b) Marble (finely-grained, with crystalline
sparkle)c) Granite- (tough, coarse-grained but
suitable for bold effects) d) Limestone- (Softer)

Materials use in Sculpture
2. Wood- lighter, softer, and cheaper, and easy to cut.
3. Terra Cotta- which means “ baked earth” is made by firing clay, as
in pottery making.4. Bronze- is solid and too expensive. The
difficult process of casting bronze is one of its disadvantages.

Sculptural Concerns
• Pictorial Sculpture- the artist, like the painter, is more concerned with details than anything else.
• Sculpturesque Sculpture- the artist is more concerned with the medium/materials used.
• Built- up- the artist is very much concerned with the medium/materials used but also with details.

Sculpture
Kinetic and Mobiles- are moving three- dimensional figures, best
example are those which are suspended on air.
