= Introduction =

'''Sculpture and Three-Dimensional Art''' is art that has height, width, and depth. Unlike a flat drawing, a three-dimensional artwork takes up real space. You can often walk around it, look through openings, notice shadows, and discover that it changes from different viewpoints.

This aiMOOC is designed for '''Grades 5–6'''. You will explore [[English:Sculpture|sculpture]], [[English:Ceramics|clay art]], [[English:Relief|relief sculpture]], [[English:Assemblage (art)|assemblage]], [[English:Kinetic art|moving sculpture]], and [[English:Public art|public art]]. You will also plan and make your own safe classroom sculptures.

[[File:Sculpture Garden - National Art Gallery.jpg|500px|frameless|center]]

A sculpture garden reminds you that three-dimensional art shares space with people, buildings, plants, light, and weather. When you look at sculpture, ask: '''What is it made of? How was it made? What happens when I move around it?'''

{{BR}}
== What Makes Art Three-Dimensional? ==

A flat image has height and width. A three-dimensional artwork also has '''depth'''. Artists arrange solid forms and empty spaces so viewers can experience the work from different directions.

'''Form''' is a three-dimensional shape. A sphere, cube, cone, and cylinder are geometric forms. Artists also create organic forms that may look irregular, soft, natural, or growing. '''Volume''' describes the amount of three-dimensional space a form occupies. '''Mass''' can describe the solid body or visual weight of a form.

'''Positive space''' is the space occupied by the material. '''Negative space''' is the empty space around or inside the form. A hole through a sculpture can be just as important to the design as the material around it.

{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsg_54t7T-k|500|center}}

The Tate Kids video above connects shape, pattern, and geometry with art. As you watch, look for ideas that could become forms in three dimensions.

{{BR}}
== Sculpture in the Round and Relief ==

A '''freestanding sculpture''', also called sculpture in the round, can usually be viewed from many sides. The front may not tell the whole story. Walk around the work slowly and compare its silhouette, texture, openings, and balance from different viewpoints.

[[File:Rodin The Thinker p1070090.jpg|500px|frameless|center]]

Auguste Rodin's '''The Thinker''' is a bronze sculpture. A photograph shows only one view, but the real sculpture has a back, sides, depth, and a relationship with the space around it.

[[File:Michelangelo's David.JPG|500px|frameless|center]]

Michelangelo's '''David''' was carved from marble in the early sixteenth century. Carving is a '''subtractive''' process because the sculptor removes material to reveal the form.

A '''relief sculpture''' stays attached to a background. Shapes project outward from a flat surface, so relief combines some features of drawing and sculpture.

[[File:The Parthenon Frieze, British Museum (27019405301).jpg|500px|frameless|center]]

The Parthenon frieze is an example of carved relief. Look for overlapping figures and changes in depth. These clues help create a sense of space even though the sculpture remains attached to a background.

{{BR}}
= Materials and Ways of Making =

Sculptors choose materials because each one has different possibilities. Soft clay can be pressed and modeled. Cardboard can be folded, cut, slotted, and joined. Stone can be carved. Metal can be bent or cast. Paper can be curled, rolled, folded, or woven. Found objects can be connected to form an assemblage.

{| class="wikitable"
! Process
! What the artist does
! Classroom-friendly examples
|-
| '''Additive'''
| Builds a form by adding material.
| Air-dry clay, papier-mâché, paper pulp
|-
| '''Subtractive'''
| Removes material from a larger piece.
| Soap carving with teacher-approved tools, soft carving blocks
|-
| '''Construction'''
| Cuts, folds, slots, ties, tapes, or joins parts.
| Cardboard, paper, craft sticks, string
|-
| '''Assemblage'''
| Combines separate made or found objects.
| Clean packaging, caps, boxes, natural objects
|-
| '''Casting'''
| Shapes a material by using a mold.
| Teacher-guided plaster or other school-safe casting material
|}

{{BR}}
== Modeling Clay ==

'''Modeling''' means shaping a soft material. You can pinch, press, roll, coil, flatten, join, smooth, and add texture. An '''armature''' is an internal support that can help a sculpture keep its shape. In classroom clay projects, a simple support may be made from safe materials chosen by the teacher.

[[File:Pottery wheel (Unsplash).jpg|500px|frameless|center]]

A pottery wheel helps a potter shape clay while it spins. Hand-building methods such as pinching, coiling, and slab building can also create strong three-dimensional forms without a wheel.

[[File:Clay pots in northern Ghana.jpg|500px|frameless|center]]

Handmade clay pots show how three-dimensional objects can combine form, pattern, skill, and practical use.

[[File:The Swapper - Clay 02.png|500px|frameless|center]]

The photograph above shows an artist shaping clay models. Notice how the hands and tools can change both large forms and tiny surface details.

{{BR}}
== Paper and Cardboard Construction ==

Paper may look flat, but folding, curling, rolling, scoring, slotting, and joining can turn it into a strong three-dimensional structure. Before using glue, experiment with tabs and slots. A good sculpture often becomes stronger when its parts support one another.

{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEI3clnsyyU|500|center}}

In this Tate Kids activity, paper, card, scissors, and glue are used to make a three-dimensional paper sculpture. Watch how flat pieces become forms that stand in space.

{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98Mp2NCF1mU|500|center}}

This Tate Kids cardboard-box activity shows how ordinary packaging can become sculpture. Think about how scale, joining, and painted surfaces change the meaning of the boxes.

{{BR}}
== Texture and Surface ==

'''Texture''' is how a surface feels or appears to feel. It may be rough, smooth, bumpy, scratched, polished, fuzzy, shiny, matte, or patterned. Artists can create texture by pressing objects into clay, carving marks, layering paper, attaching materials, or changing a surface with paint.

Texture also affects light. A rough surface makes many tiny shadows, while a smooth surface may reflect light more evenly. When you photograph a sculpture, side lighting can make surface texture easier to see.

{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2CbIcl14vQ|500|center}}

The Tate Kids sensory-sculpture activity encourages you to think about how materials can be experienced in more than one way. In class, use only materials your teacher has approved.

{{BR}}
= Balance, Movement, and Structure =

A sculpture must often balance '''visually''' and '''physically'''. Visual balance means the parts feel arranged in a stable or purposeful way. Physical balance means the artwork actually stays upright or hangs safely.

A broad base usually makes a standing sculpture more stable. Tall or top-heavy forms may tip more easily. For a hanging mobile, the suspension point and the weight of each part affect how the sculpture balances.

{{BR}}
== Mobiles and Kinetic Sculpture ==

'''Kinetic art''' includes art that moves or appears to move. A '''mobile''' is a hanging sculpture with balanced parts that can move. Movement may be caused by air currents, a motor, water, or careful human interaction when the artwork is designed for it.

[[File:'Mobile', by Alexander Calder, Tate Modern.JPG|500px|frameless|center]]

Alexander Calder became famous for mobiles that use balanced rods and suspended shapes. The spaces between the parts are important because the work changes as it moves.

A '''stabile''' is a stationary sculpture. Calder also made large abstract stabiles.

[[File:Chicago (ILL) Alexander Calder, "Flamingo", 1974. Acier. (4826025799).jpg|500px|frameless|center]]

Calder's '''Flamingo''' in Chicago is a large steel stabile. Compare it with the hanging mobile above: one is fixed in place, while the other is designed to move.

{{BR}}
= Looking Closely at Sculpture =

You do not need to decide quickly whether you "like" a sculpture. First, collect evidence. Move your eyes around the work and describe what you actually notice.

{| class="wikitable"
! Look for...
! Questions you can ask
|-
| '''Form'''
| Are the forms geometric, organic, solid, hollow, open, tall, wide, repeated, or twisted?
|-
| '''Space'''
| Where are the openings? Can you see through or around the sculpture?
|-
| '''Texture'''
| Which surfaces look rough, smooth, soft, sharp, polished, or worn?
|-
| '''Material'''
| What is the sculpture made from? What clues help you decide?
|-
| '''Balance'''
| Does it look stable, tense, symmetrical, asymmetrical, heavy, or light?
|-
| '''Viewpoint'''
| What changes when you look from another side or from above or below?
|-
| '''Meaning'''
| What idea, story, feeling, question, or memory might the artist be exploring?
|}

{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnnPDxvMqaM|500|center}}

This V&A video explores Auguste Rodin and his approach to sculpture. Use it as an extension: listen for ways an artist can challenge expectations about beauty, surface, and the human figure.

{{BR}}
== Conservation: Caring for Sculpture ==

Sculptures can be damaged by touching, weather, unstable materials, dust, light, or accidents. Museums study the materials and construction of an artwork before they clean, repair, move, or display it. Conservation is careful work because changing an original artwork can change its history.

{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Swh6pYdeR_8|500|center}}

The Metropolitan Museum of Art video shows conservation work connected with Edgar Degas's '''Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer'''. Notice how a sculpture can contain more than one material and why conservators need to understand how those materials behave.

{{BR}}
= Sculpture in Everyday Life and Public Spaces =

Three-dimensional art is not limited to museums. You may find sculpture in parks, schools, places of worship, memorials, town squares, gardens, transit stations, and building entrances. Some works are decorative, some remember people or events, some invite play or reflection, and some make us question how we use a shared space.

'''Public art''' belongs to a place as well as to an artist. Viewers may have different opinions about what a public sculpture means, whether it fits the site, and how it should be cared for. Good discussion uses evidence: material, size, location, symbols, history, and the needs of people who share the space.

{{BR}}
= Planning Your Own Sculpture =

Before you build, make a small sketch from more than one viewpoint. Label materials and joins. Decide what should be strong, what should move, and where the viewer should look first.

A simple design cycle is: '''imagine → sketch → choose materials → build → test → improve → explain'''. Testing is part of art-making. If a sculpture tips, sags, tears, or does not communicate your idea, that is useful information for your next change.

{{BR}}
== Safety and Responsible Material Use ==

Use only classroom-safe, teacher-approved materials. Follow instructions for scissors, wire, adhesives, paint, clay, and casting materials. Do not use blades, wire cutters, hot glue guns, kilns, power tools, or unfamiliar chemicals unless a trained adult has chosen the tool, explained the procedure, and is supervising.

Reuse clean materials when possible, but inspect them first. Avoid sharp metal, broken glass, dirty containers, unknown substances, or anything that held hazardous material. A sculpture should be safe to make, safe to display, and stable enough not to fall on someone.
