The sculptor acts on different materials transformed by carving and modeling processes, which are traditional methods (aluminum wall sculpture).
Using different combinations of materials and media has created a new artistic repertoire includes processes such as assembly and constructivism. In a generic sense, the term plastic sculptures artwork made by sculptor. Since ancient times, man has had the need to carve. At first he did with the simplest materials and had to hand: the stone, clay and wood; then use iron, bronze, lead, wax, plaster, clay, polyester resin and plastics reinforced fiberglass, concrete, kinetic and light reflection, among other.
The 'Greek sculptures reached a high degree of perfection, quality driven came looking for a better expression of beauty of human figure; even established a canon with proportions considered "perfect." Unfortunately, the Charioteer of Delphi, the pair of Riace bronzes together with the Artemision Bronze part of few Greek sculptures in bronze preserved complete. One of most significant artists of classical period was Praxiteles, author of Hermes and the Infant Dionysus. During the Hellenistic period observed in creation of sculptures there is a clear intention to intensify the movement and accentuate the emotions, as you can see the sculptures of Laocoon and His Sons.
Etruscan sculptures (BC-IX century BC) derived from Greek art, but also works were realized with characteristics. The status linked to funeral contexts is far more Etruscan production abundant; the material of choice, as a rule, was the terracotta, as infamous Sarcophagus ofSpouses. Later, Roman sculptures was influenced by the Etruscan and Greek and Roman artists reached make numerous copies of Greek works.
The clay was also a common material. The first known sculptures are from Egypt, China, India and the Middle East, places where none existed since 4000 BC kilns for pottery making objects. One of most important advances in history of sculptures was the ability to work the metal -first bronze and then iron workers which was used to make tools more efficient, and also get a new material make sculptures.
One type sculptures that took place, however, were portraits, realistic works with a distinctly psychological that were made throughout the Roman Empire. The most important sculptures of Byzantine Empire are the work of ornamental capitals; There are good examples of Ravenna San Vidal. Were common in ivory reliefs applied to boxes, leaflets or famous Chair ofBishop Maximilian, cut a piece about the year 550.
These characteristics of Ottonian art small sculptures in bronze and ivory which s' added inlaid gemstones. Also bronze doors of St. Michael's Church, Hildesheim, work related to Carolingian art and Byzantine art. It should be noted, moreover, the images of wood covered with gold is used as a reliquary: among these highlights Gero Crucifix (tenth century), polychrome wood, which is located in Cologne Cathedral.
The Romanesque sculptures (XI-XIII) was service architecture; Many examples are to be found around the major pilgrimage routes such as the Way of Saint James. The sculptors tried various parts of churches -timpans, capitals and covers stories on topics biblics- with great realism . The Christ Pantocrator and the Judgement were the most iconographic themes represented.
