The main forms of sculptures are round sculptures, relief sculptures, hanging sculptures, openwork sculptures, line sculptures, etc. Ancient Chinese art craftsmen also created art forms such as stone reliefs and brick reliefs that have both carving and painting characteristics.
The characteristics of sculpture art are static, visible, and touchable, and round sculptures require appreciation from multiple angles. Sculpture art creation is not good at narration, but rather expresses movement with static shapes, making it simple, permanent, and monumental.
Sculpture types can be divided into indoor sculptures and outdoor sculptures according to different placement locations; they can be divided into monumental sculptures and easel sculptures, architectural decorative sculptures, public welfare sculptures, etc. due to differences in function. In modern art, sculpture methods are no longer limited to carving and molding, nor are they limited to traditional materials. Anti-traditional four-dimensional sculptures, five-dimensional sculptures, sound and light art, dynamic sculptures, and soft sculptures have emerged.
