Sculpture poses a much more complex relationship between the viewer and the object than two-dimensional media. Because sculpture belongs to our the third dimension, we encounter it often and in diverse places. Some sculptural works appeal to our perception of the fourth dimension: time. Here you're going to explore the traditional media used in sculpture, historical methods, and different categories of sculpture and site-specific art.
