Sculptor Overview

Sculpture is a part of Fine Arts. Sculptors try to express a specific and unique vision through their sculpture. They design three-dimensional art works-either by moulding and joining materials such as clay, glass, wire, plastic, fabric, or metal or by cutting and carving forms from a block of plaster, wood, or stone. Some sculptors combine various materials to create mixed-media works.

In recent years, some sculptors have incorporated light, sound, and motion into their works.

As a Sculptor, you will use your hands to give shape to your thoughts. Material like stone, wood, clay, plaster of Paris or metals such as bronze will be your resources. Computers, lasers, sound, plastics, fibre and textiles are some other materials you could dabble with.

Successful sculptors continually study and learn new techniques, experiment with different materials, keep abreast with world trends and attend art gallery exhibitions.

As a Sculptor, you could also take up pottery and create designer pots. You'll keep yourself busy with throwing, glazing and firing pots. Many potters consider pottery as more of a lifestyle than a career even though they may have their wares located across the nation in speciality shops or art studios. If you need more information on this profile please feel free to contact us Now.
