Welcome to the World of SculptureThe Muse Of Fine Arts welcomes you to the World Of Sculpture. About this featureOriginally, the word sculpture meant to carve, to shape figures or designs in the round or in relief by chiseling marble, modeling clay, or casting in metal. But since the days of the ancient Romans, who along with the Greeks raised the art of sculpture to a high plateau, sculpture has taken on many new meanings and forms. Sculpture is both a verb and a noun; it's something to do and something to make. That means that somebody does it, makes it. In these pages, The Muse Of Fine Arts addresses all three aspects of sculpture:
The Muse is interested in the following topics as they relate to the Fine Art of sculpture:
Sculpture, visual art, and Fine ArtSculpture is one of the visual arts, one of the Fine arts, and one of the design arts. This is a way of saying that works of sculpture can be created as pure art, poor art, or as design art. In the feature you are now visiting, The Muse Of Fine Arts explores sculpture from the point of view or pure art. The Muse is only interested in poor art as a foil to other kinds of art.
AvailabilityEach great or important sculpted object has a unique life and personality. It sprang out of the life of the person who crafted it. It was born somewhere, matured, has a history, and lives on to survive its creator. And in a bizarre convolution, its creator lives on in the object, as well.
The Muse Of Fine Arts will publish photo galleries of sculptures and sculptors in such a way as to enable visitors to explore the "life" of sculpted objects, to examine, analyze, and compare sculpture features and other characteristics. Organizing principles will include sculptor name, sculpture name, time period, gallery where displayed, etc. Other features in these pages will elucidate the history and development of the art of sculpture; sculptural movements; sculpture techniques, methods and materials; biographies of famous and important sculptors and assessments of their lives and works. Look for these and other features on subsequent visits to these pages. ...Coming. the Fine Arts GlossaryThe Muse Of Fine Arts is pleased to offer this automated glossary of fine arts terminology.

technical aspects of the fine artsIn their classical definition, the fields of fine art are primarily visual; they include painting, sculpture, drawing, watercolor, graphics, and architecture. Yet today there are more kinds of fine art than every before, many of which mitigate or completely dissolve barriers that in the past restricted the sensory appeal of fine art to the eyes at the expense of the other four senses.
