    Types of Sculpture and Other Three-Dimensional Media

    There are two types of sculpture: freestanding sculptures that can be viewed from all sides, and relief sculptures where the image protrudes from the background. Relief sculptures can be bas relief, with a shallow projection, or high relief with most elements undercut. The two main sculpture methods are carving, where material is removed to reveal the figure, and casting, where a mold is used to create a replica. Famous carved works include Michelangelo's David, while casting allows for durable sculptures using various materials like metals, epoxy, and concrete.

    TYPES OF SCULPTURE AND OTHER THREE-DIMENSIONAL MEDIA

    Sculpture is any work of art created by the use of materials to create a three-
    dimensional object. The Venus of Berekhat Ram (Venus of Willendorf) is a 230,000-
    year-old carved figure discovered in the Middle East in 1981. It is the world's earliest
    known work of art. Its name comes from the shape's resemblance to so-called
    female fertility figures found all over Europe, some of which date back 25,000 years.

    There are two types of sculpture. First is the freestanding or self-supported,


    where the viewer can walk complete around the work to see it from all sides. Second
    is the relief where the primary form’s surface is raised above the surrounding
    material, such as the image on a coin.

    Relief also has two types. First is the Bas Relief. It refers to a shallow
    extension of the image from its surroundings. Second is the High Relief. It is where
    the most prominent elements of the composition are undercut and rendered at more
    than half in the round against the background.

    There are two basic methods. First is Carving. It is the earliest approach for
    three-dimensional art, as it uses the layer - by - layer process to take away sections
    from a larger mass. Stone and wood were traditionally the most popular materials
    since they were both easily available and incredibly durable. Foam, polymers, and
    glass are examples of modern materials. Artists cut away material with chisels and
    other sharp tools until the final form of the work is produced. Michelangelo's
    masterpiece David statue, carved and sanded to an idealized form that the artist
    releases from the huge block in 1501, is a tribute to human aesthetic brilliance.
    Second is the casting. For more than 5,000 years, the additive process of casting
    has been used. It's a method of manufacturing in which a liquid material is put into a
    mold with a hollow chamber in the desired shape and then allowed to solidify. The
    lost wax process is a historic method of bronze casting that is still widely used today.
    Casting materials are typically metals, but they can also be a variety of cold-setting
    materials that cure after combining two or more components, such as epoxy,
    concrete, plaster, and clay. Jimi Hendrix, the rock guitarist, is shown as a statue on
    the ground, his figure sculpted as if he were performing on stage. He's on both
    knees, his head thrown back, his eyes closed and his lips open in mid-wailing. His
    bell-bottoms, frilly shirt unbuttoned halfway, necklace, and headband not only give us
    a taste of 1960s rock culture, but they also bring the subject down to our level.
