THE VISUAL ARTS
SCULPTURE
Sculpture comes from the Latin word
“Sculpure” which means “To carve”. The
Oxford English Dictionary defines
sculpture as “originally, the process or
art of carving or engraving a hard
material so as to produce designs, or
figures in relief, intaglio, or in the
round.”
FUNCTIONS OF SCULPTURE
Sculpture is produced for numerous reasons and
functions in a range of different ways. Many people
produce sculptures that depicts divinities or cultural
heroes in human or animal form which would have been
used in a religious or ritual context other type of
sculpture celebrate kingship and power , commemorate
ancestor, or relate to beliefs about death and afterlife
KINDS OF SCULPTURE
RELIEF SCULPTURE
The oldest form
of sculpture art.
It is the
sculpture that
projects in
varying degrees
from a
Two-dimensional
background.
FREE STANDING
Known as
sculpture-in–a-
round. It is most
recognizable to
modern people it
can be view from
any angle.
KINETIC SCULPTURE

moves by either
mechanical
power, or moves
under the power
of wind or water
ASSEMBLAGE

together from
found or
scavenged items.
Re combining

Elements of Design in
Sculpture

Many design elements combine to create a work of

art. Design elements are things that make possible
to create art. Without them, things would have no
color, shape, outline, or space.
1. Scale - refers to its size relative to the size of its surrounding
environment

2. Color is the way light waves are absorbed or reflected by

everything around us

3. Line is path of a moving point. In sculpture, the most important

kind of line is contour line or the outline that form edges of the
sculpture to create its silhouette.

4. Shape shape has no depth as it is two-dimensional. Lines cross or

intersect creating a shape which has a certain width and height.
5. Space refers to the area between, around, above, below, or within
elements in a work of art.

6. Texture is the way something feels when you touch it.

7. Value is the lightness or darkness of a color

8. Form a form is three-dimensional it has height, width, and

thickness. Because sculptures are by nature space occupying and
three-dimensional, they are forms.
FOUR BASIC SCULPTURES
TECHNIQUES
CARVING

is a process in
which the artist
subtract or cuts
away from a solid
material to reach
the desired form.
MODELING
Is the process of
manipulating soft
materials to create
a three dimensional
form. Requires soft
substances that can
be easily and
rapidly shaped by
sculptor’s hand.
CASTING
involves making a
mould and then
pouring a liquid
material, such as
molten metal,
plastic, rubber or
fibre glass into the
mould.
ASSEMBLAGE

Consist of
combining and
joining various
materials.
