Sculpture

Sculpture

Art in three dimensional forms, whether made by carving, chiseling, modelling or casting. While sculpture and painting are often seen as distinct arts, they have also been practised together, as in "polychrome" painting of sculpted figures in ancient, mediaeval and early modern europe, for example, as well as in recent mixtures of objects into paintings.
