The world of sculpture is diverse, there are many types of sculpture, all of which are made from different materials and used for different purposes. Each type has a different meaning to its users. However, it is not hard to find a sculpture that you love, if you know where to look. The three main types of sculpture include the Faceted Sculpture, the Lay-On Sculpture and the Clay Firing Sculpture. In this article, we will discuss these three sculpture types and their significance.
The Faceted Sculpture is made by pouring molten clay into a mould, while the Lay-On Sculpture is used for making the sculpture on the surface of the mould while still molten. It is after the shaping and decorating process that the clay is fired at high temperature to make it soft and malleable enough to be used for carving. The best thing about using a Lay-On Sculpture is that it is very versatile and can also be used to decorate temples, mosques, and homes. A typical Lay-On sculpture can depict various figures such as human beings, animals, gods, demons, and even various objects found in the temple or mosque.
Another type of sculpture is the Clay Firing Sculpture; it is basically used for modeling and fusing clay. During the firing process, the clay forms into different shapes, sizes, and textures that give the final product the finished product. Some of the most prominent models that use this technique include the figure of Holi, Buddha, Ganesh, and Swarovski crystals. This particular type of sculpture is used to create a unique artwork that has the ability to bring back the lost art of fire.
