4. PAIR WORK:
Say if the definition is FALSE or TRUE:
Carving is a sculptural method that involves removing material from a larger form
to create and image. An excellent example of a carved sculpture is the marble
sculpture.
Modeling is a subtractive process, the form is created directly on a soft and malleable,
like clay and wax, on a minimal support structure made of rigid material.
Stone carving is an modern activity where pieces of rough natural stone are
shaped by the controlled removal of stone.
Casting is a manufacturing process by which a solid material is poured into a
mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to
solidify.
Bronze is the most popular metal for cast metal sculptures, a cast bronze
sculpture is often called simply a " bron z e " .
Sculptors have generally sought to produce works of art that are as permanent
as possible, working in durable and frequently expensive materials such as
plaster
Construction is the process of formation of sculpture from various component
parts that can be all the same material or different substances, is a procedure
developed in the twentieth century.
Found objects may be presented as sculptures. Materials may be worked by
