TYPES OF SCULTURE.pptx
Sculpture is a three-dimensional art form that can be created through carving, modeling, construction or assembling materials. There are several types of sculpture, including relief which is attached to a background, sculpture-in-the-round which can be viewed from all angles, assemblage which uses found objects, kinetic/mobile sculptures that move with wind or mechanics, and installations that transform an entire space. Relief sculpture has three forms - low relief with slightly raised figures, high relief with figures projecting over half their depth, and sunken relief which is carved into the background.

Presentation by Bernard E. Richardson, highlighting his expertise as an Art Educator.
Sculpture is a three-dimensional art form created through various methods; quoted Henry Moore emphasizes the inspiration found in nature.
Covers five primary types of sculpture: Relief, Assemblage, Sculpture in-the-round, Kinetic, and Installations.
Explains the concept of relief sculptures which project from backgrounds, detailing three types: Low, High, and Sunken Relief.
Describes Low Relief, where figures are slightly raised, also known as Bas Relief.
Defines High Relief, characterized by figures projecting significantly from the background, often resembling round sculptures.
Describes Sunken Relief, where figures are carved into the background, created through a subtractive carving process.
Details Sculpture in-the-round, also known as Free standing Sculpture, which can be viewed from all angles.
Explains that free-standing sculptures can be made through additive (modeling, casting) and subtractive (carving) processes.
Defines Assemblage as a modern sculpture form using found objects, akin to a three-dimensional collage created through additive methods.
Discusses Kinetic Sculpture, which incorporates movement via mechanical or natural means, created through additive methods.
Explains Installation sculptures that transform spaces using diverse materials, designed for public interaction, built through additive methods.
Provides image sources and credits associated with the presentation.
Ending slide of the presentation, summarizing the discussion on sculptural forms.

What is Sculpture? “Inmy opinion, everything, every shape, every bit of natural form, animals, people, pebbles, shells, anything you like are all things that can help you to make a sculpture.” --Henry Moore Sculpture is a three-dimensional form created by carving, modelling, construction or assembling materials. Henry Moore, Reclining Nude, 1951

- 4. TYPES OF SCULPTURE •A relief is a Sculpture that projects in varying degrees from a flat background or surface. • It is seen only from one particular angle (a frontal view). • There are three (3) types: 1. RELIEF SCULPTURE 1. Low Relief 2. High Relief 3. Sunken Relief
- 5. LOW RELIEF • Thefigures are slightly raised from the surface or the background. • Also referred to as ‘Bas Relief’.
- 6. HIGH RELIEF • Sculpturethat projects or stands out from the background by at least half its depth. • Sometimes they are nearly sculpted in the round.
- 7. SUNKEN RELIEF • Reliefthat is carved or sunken down into the background. • Also known as incised or Intaglio. • It is created by carving. • Relief sculptures are created using the subtractive process of carving.
- 8. 2. SCULPTURE IN-THE-ROUND •Also known as Free standing Sculpture • Sculpture that exists in a three-dimensional space that can be viewed from all angles. • Free standing works. You can walk around it.
- 9. • Sculptures in-the-roundor free standing sculptures can be created using both the additive (modeling, casting) and subtractive processes (carving). Carving Modeling Casting
- 10. 3. ASSEMBLAGE • A‘modern’ type of Sculpture. • An Assemblage sculpture is the assembling or putting together of found objects to create a work of art. • The objects are either related or unrelated to each other. • Referred to as a three-dimensional collage. • Assemblages are created by gluing, soldering, welding, pasting, riveting, nailing etc. • Assemblages are created using the Additive method of Constructing.
- 11. 4. KINETIC /MOBILE SCULPTURE • Is a free-standing Sculpture that moves. • The movement is by mechanical power or by wind or water power. • Best examples are those which are suspended on or in air. • Mobiles are created using the Additive method of Constructing.
- 12. 5. INSTALLATIONS • A‘modern’ type of Sculpture. • Sculptures created using various materials that may be permanent and are not confined to gallery spaces. • Installations are sculptural artworks that transform an entire space into a work of art. • They are designed to fit into a particular space. • They interact with the public environment as the viewer needs to walk through the piece to experience it. • Installations are created using the Additive method of Constructing.
