Sculpture
- A three-dimensional work of art, or the art of making it. Such
works may be carved, modeled, constructed, or cast. Sculptures
can also be described as assemblage, in the round, and relief,
and made in a huge variety of media. (Artlex)
Quote: "After painting comes Sculpture, a very noble art, but one
that does not in the execution require the same supreme
ingenuity as the art of painting, since in two most important
and difficult particulars, in foreshortening and in light and
shade, for which the painter has to invent a process, sculpture
is helped by nature. Moreover, Sculpture does not imitate color
which the painter takes pains to attune so that the shadows
accompany the lights."
Leonardo da Vinci
