Sculpture is a branch of the visual arts and at the same time one of the types of plastic arts, and it is based on the creation of three-dimensional models. Originally, it was the inscription (ie, removal of part of the material) and formation (ie the addition of materials such as clay). This art is practiced on rocks, metals, ceramics, wood and other materials. The art of sculpture has been known since ancient times about 4500 BC. Since the era of modernity changes in the process of sculpture have led to freedom in the use of materials and processes. Many different materials can be worked through the removal process such as cutting or assembly such as welding, molding and pouring. Sculpture is an abstract art based on the creation of three-dimensional images of man, animal, or abstract forms. Plaster or wax can be used, or engraving rocks or wood. Sculpture is one aspect of artistic creativity and produces three-dimensional models.
Sculpture is one of the oldest arts of man. It is older than the art of photography, for example. A person is better able to express his words than drawing. The art of sculpture deals with three-dimensional models as opposed to drawing and painting that deals with binary dimensions.
We can find sculptural models in ancient civilizations of different forms, including in the Pharaonic, Roman and Greek civilizations, where sculpture is one of the most widespread arts and expression of the atmosphere surrounding the different purpose of use. These models were usually meant to be the religious aspects of expressing their different gods .
