LOW RELIEF/BAS RELIEF
 Slightly raise from the surface
SUNKEN RELIEF (Intagio)

3. ASSEMBLAGE
 Putting together materials
TECHNIQUES in SCULPTURE
CARVING – wood carving (during
renaissance period marble is commonly
used)
 Paete, Laguna – carving capital of
the Philippines
 Pieta – Michael Angelo
(renaissance sculpture)

picking, carving, or abrading, as a
4. KINETIC SCULPTURE
 Sculpture in motion
 Parts of sculpture are moving with
the wind or are vibrating with the
surrounding air
Example: dream catcher
5. STABILE
 Stationary (Alexander Cander)
6. WELDED SCULPTURE
 Using welding
7. GLASS SCULPTURE
 Ramon Orlina (father of
Philippine Glass sculpture,
pioneered glass sculpture)
8. ICE SCULPTURE
 Imelda Pilapil (Frozen wave)
 Rogel Cabisidan (King of Ice
