    • Sculpture: Made from materials like clay, glass, and metal. Types include:

      • Free-standing: Can be viewed from all sides.
      • Relief: Attached to a flat surface, providing limited viewing angles.

    • Assembling: Combining different materials to create a sculpture.

    • Modeling: Gradually adding material to build form.
