Sculpture: By: Group 1

Sculpture is defined as the art of shaping materials such as stone, metal, ceramics, wood, and other materials into three-dimensional forms. Historically, sculpture involved carving material away or modeling by adding material, but modern sculpture uses complete freedom of materials and processes. Sculpture can be created by techniques such as carving, assembling parts, modeling, molding, or casting. Famous sculptures include the Roman marble copy of The Dying Gaul from the 3rd century BCE and Michelangelo's Moses created between 1513-1515 for the tomb of Pope Julius II.
