As a part of the sculpture week on Deviant Art hosted by I decided to post a selection of wonderful sculptures from Traditional Art -> Sculpture gallery.

A sculpture for me is quite amazing because one manages to create in all 3 dimensions, it has volume, it is tangible, it speaks. A sculpture can be made out of many different materials as the selection below shows. A person creating a sculpture is called a sculptor.

Some common types of sculpture:

relief - a sculpture attached to background
free standing - a sculpture that has a base and can be viewed from all sides
mobile - a sculpture that has motion, kinetic sculpture that takes advantage of equilibrium
jewlery - a wearable piece of art
statue - a free standing sculpture depicting a person or animal
bust - 3 dimensional representation of the person from chest up

Things that should not go to traditional art -> sculpture gallery:
- photos of someone else's sculptures
- photos of yourself
- digitally created works
- heavily digitally altered works

Please give these awesome artists some of your deviant love and wish them a Happy Sculpture Week
