Sculpture is a three-dimensional artwork created by shaping materials such as stone, metal, glass, or wood. Sculptures can be created through carving, modeling, casting, or assembling materials. Common sculpting materials include stone, metal, wood, ivory, clay, and bronze. Sculptures are often freestanding and can be seen from multiple angles, or they can be in relief on a background surface. Sculptors use techniques like carving, modeling, and casting to create their works.
