SCULPTURE Meaning and Definition

  1. Sculpture can be defined as an artistic form that involves designing, creating, or sculpting three-dimensional objects using various materials such as stone, wood, metal, clay, or even plastics. It is a visual art form that dates back thousands of years and has been an integral part of human expression and cultural heritage.

    With a focus on the manipulation of materials and space, sculptors employ various techniques such as carving, modeling, casting, and assemblage to bring their artistic vision to life. Sculpture can encompass a wide range of forms, from realistic representations of human figures or animals to abstract and conceptual creations that challenge traditional ideas of representation and form.

    The process of creating a sculpture usually involves different stages, starting with a preliminary idea or concept that is then translated into a physical form. Sculptors often use tools such as chisels, hammers, rasps, or brushes to shape and mold the chosen material, gradually transforming it into the desired composition.

    Sculpture can be found in various contexts, including public spaces, galleries, museums, and even private collections. It serves as a means of artistic expression, often embodying social, cultural, or historical themes. Sculptures can evoke emotional responses in viewers and invite them to explore and interpret the artist's intentions, making it a dynamic and interactive art form.

  2. • The art of cutting or carving stone to form representations of visible or ideal objects, as the figure of a man; any work of art produced by the chisel.
    • To cut or carve with the chisel, as stone.
