Carved sculpture
Carved sculpture is divided into two, indirect and direct carving. The sculptor starts with a solid mass of material and reduces it systematically to the desired form.
Relief sculpture
It is three dimensional because it provides from a background, but it also maintains a two-dimensional quality as compared to a full round sculpture
Cast sculpturing
It involves making a mold and pouring a liquid material such as molten metal, plastic rubber, or fiberglass into the mold
Modeling sculpture
It is an additive process. It means using a soft material to build up a shape or structure. The use of plastic stuff by hand to build-up form. Clay and wax are the most common modeling materials and the artist’s hands are the main tools, though metal and wood tools are often employed in shaping.
