metal
Abdulmari
Imao’s Sarimanok with Fishes (see p. 55) is done in
brass standing on wood base
has beautiful surface and color characteristics and is the most common casting
material.
bronze
It is not very permanent and can easily be
changed or damaged in handling. It can also be deformed when exposed to heat.
wax
is more responsive than wood or stone. However, it possesses little
strength in tension or compression and requires an armature for support.
terracota or clay
is not in
itself a permanent material. If fired, it is subject to the size limitations of a kiln and a
variety of engineering considerations.
clay
is an example of a sculpture in terracotta painted with acrylic. It is a good medium to
use to express the artist's state of mind amidst domestic work which prevented her from
making artworks.
Julie Lluch’s Picasso and I
is becoming popular in the Philippines. It is used by many installation artists and
sculptors.

ai weiwei
are created when a soft or malleable material such
as clay, is built using an armature and then shaped to create a form.
modeled sculptures
it is an additive process
modeling
involves cutting or chipping away a shape from a mass of
stone, wood, or other hard material.
carving
is a subtractive process where the
material is systematically eliminated from the outside. The process calls for a
conception of the result before the work is begun.

Casting When a sculpture is formed using terracotta clay, it is made permanent
through the
plaster of paris
Casting it in bronze or metal accurately reproduces
the form from an
original clay or wax model
Sculptors gather and put together different materials, including
found objects to create an assembled sculpture.
assembling
is an additive
process using adhesive, welding, and other chemicals for adhesion.
assembling
is carved from a slab of stone and is limited by the material's
shape and size. This means that the sculptor can only make a form that is
allowed by the material's shape and cannot exceed its size.
monolithic sculpture
is popular among contemporary artists. It makes use of new
materials such as plastics, plexiglass, metal wire, etc., and allows a break from
the figurative representation of sculpture.
constructivism
russian artists who introduced constructivism
Vladimir Tatlin, Naum Gabo and Antoine Pevsner,
provides a method to the contemporary artist that
abandons carving, modeling, and casting. Several forms of found objects,
including metal (wire, pipe, sheet, rod, spring, tube, bar, and plate) are put
together through a single method of attachment: welding: and a single color and
surface texture.
sculptural assemblage
is a sculpture in mechanical motion. When they are suspended
in the air, they can produce musical sounds as the elements move with the wind
and touch each other.
kinetic sculpture
is a recessed place in a wall where a sculptured figure or bust can be located. It
is important to think of niche sculptures as walls, conceived out of necessity
to endow plane surfaces with dramatic meaning.
