4 Ways (or methods of) Sculpting:Modeling: The process of manipulating a flexible material into a sculptural form. Modeling is an additive process. Most modeling is done with clay. Casting: The process of filling a mold with liquid material that will then harden. Molds (hollow forms) provide the method for materials to take on or retain the shape, and securing an impression. Carving: The process of cutting away material to reveal the desired image. Carving is a subtractive process and requires much planning, since the material cannot be restored. Construction (Assemblage): The process of joining together components of one or more materials to create the sculpture. Construction and assemblage can be both an additive and/or subtractive process.
