This document provides information about different types of sculpture. It defines two-dimensional and three-dimensional artwork and describes freestanding sculpture and relief sculpture. Freestanding sculpture can be viewed from all sides, while relief sculpture projects from a background. It also discusses sculpture fundamentals like form, technique, and content. The document notes that motif in sculpture involves repeating visual units. It includes quotes from artists Betsy Atwell Dudley and Michelle Stitzlein, who work with found objects and recycled materials. The concluding section provides steps for a project to create an insect sculpture using found objects.

- 1. SculptureA Three-dimensional work of Art.
- 2. Two dimensionalFlat, Height and WidthThree dimensionalVolume or thickness, height, width and depth.
- 3. Freestanding Sculpturealso called Sculpture in the RoundSculpture in the Round (Freestanding Sculpture)—Stands by itself, usually made for viewing from all sides.
- 4. Relief SculptureRelief Sculpture -A sculptural surface that that is not freestanding, but projects from a background of which it is a part.

- 12. Betsy Atwell DudleyMany of my sculptures have dealt with the repetition of layers in wood, clay and metal. At first, they represented civilizations and ancestral and social patterns. However, as I got closer to nature and to my own center, I sensed a deeper meaning. I began to acknowledge and appriciate the presence of the divine in everythin. My art became stronger as I focus on the two fondations of reality-matter and spirit.
- 14. Michelle StitzleinMichelle Stitzlein creates found object art / sculpture from recycled materials, including piano keys, broken china, license plates, rusty tin cans, electrical wire, bottlecaps, and other miscellaneous items.
- 15. Found or Recycled Object Sculpture
- 16. Our ProjectEmploy found objects to create a sculpture “in the round”. “ Found objects” are objects that have been created for a purpose other than art, and are usually every day objects, easily recognized for a utilitarian function.Their meaning in every day life is usually derived from their context in which we use them. By altering the objects’ context, or their form we can modify their meaning and significance.
- 17. Insect sculpture
- 18. Steps:PLAN! Draw 5 different views of insectPractice techniques with recyclable materials (Technique Board-Think about different shapes, cuts, materials, techniques you can use to make parts of insect like legs, antennae, stinger, wings, eyes, etc)Build armatureChoose recyclable materials (cans, bottles, bottle caps, etc)Cut-out and start attaching materials to armatureRemember careful craftsmanship!
