Sculpture: Sculpture is any three-dimensional form created as an artistic expression. Sculpting is the art of assembling or shaping an object. It may be of any size and of any suitable material. The artist who does this is called a sculptor. [br]Traditional materials: Traditional sculpting materials are: stone; marble - see marble sculpture; limestone; Portland Stone [br]granite; basalt; sandstone; soapstone; pipestone; alabaster; jade; clay, porcelain, terracotta, plaster, papier-mâché [br]metal, bronze - see bronze sculpture, iron, copper, gold, wood, living plants. Contemporary materials: In his late writings, Joan Miró even proposed that some day sculptures might be made of gases; see gas sculpture. Other materials used in modern and contemporary sculpture include: the environment, polymers, and many other synthetic materials, textiles, metal, aluminum, mercury, glass, sand, water, ice, snow, terra cotta, balloons, liquid crystals, frozen blood, dead animals, found objects, sound. Perhaps the least elitist of these media is sand, as it is used by young and old to create sand castles. Forms: Some of the forms of sculpture are: Relief - sculpture still attached to a background, standing out from that ground in "High Relief" or "Low Relief" (bas relief). Sculpture "in the round," that is, designed by the sculptor to be viewed from any angle. Free-standing sculpture.
