1. What I knew about sculpture before taking this module?

Before taking this module, I thought sculpture was simply just carving out of something solid but later on my perspective on it changed and was developed in a better way. Also, I thought that the sculptor just makes whatever he fancy on doing but turns out there are types of representation the sculptor can use to base on his/her work so that the purpose of the sculptor can be transmitted to the audience. Lastly, I thought sculpture are just for decorations and to entertain people but then I realized it still exists to this day because it serves a purpose to humanity.

I have learned so many things while discussing sculpture as fine art. According to a reading entitled Statuary by Gilson, a sculpture is to create solids that are proportion and pleasing to the eye. Since solids are statues, there are components that makeup like a statue and these are representations, types, techniques, and materials. First is the representation and these are Realism (attempt to represent the subject in a truthful manner), Abstraction (beyond traditional art), and Idealism (use of imagination to conceptualized an idea). Second would be types and these are Free-standing (surrounded on all sides by space), Relief (design remains attached to the background), and  3-D sculpture (digitally manipulated). Third would be the techniques used in making sculptures. There are four and these are Direct Carving (working directly on the solid material), Modelling (the used of clay to make a sculpture), Casting (melting of an object to be molded into a new one), and Assemblage (gathering of solids to make a sculpture). Lastly would be materials and these are wood, marble, glass, clay, and many more.  Also knowing that sculpture cannot move does not mean that it does not have any motion because most of the time the movement is shown when moving around the sculpture. Lastly, even though sculptures lack the gift of speech it can still be linked to higher beauty because through sculpture we can have a glimpse of absolute beauty within them and that what makes me unique and beautiful.

I would like to learn more about the process of making a sculpture. I want to make my own mini sculpture one day made from scratch so that I can further understand the beauty of sculpture as it is. Also, I want to learn the techniques and which material is best used on a certain technique so that I can make a proportional sculpture and is pleasing to the eye.
