Sculpture is three-dimensional artwork created by shaping or combining hard materials, typically stone such as marble, metal, glass, or wood, or plastic materials such as clay, textiles, polymers and softer metals. The term has been extended to works including sound, text and light.

Found objects may be presented as sculptures. Materials may be worked by removal such as carving; or they may be assembled such as by welding , hardened such as by firing, or molded or cast. Surface decoration such as paint may be applied. Sculpture has been described as one of the plastic arts because it can involve the use of materials that can be moulded or modulated.

Sculpture is an important form of public art. A collection of sculpture in a garden setting may be referred to as a sculpture garden.

What do you learn and do in a sculpture class?
Q. I know that you essentially learn how to sculpt, but I'm looking for a little more information. If you've ever taken a sculpture class, what was it like? Be as descriptive as possible. I'm asking because I'm taking an Intro to Sculpting class next semester.
