A sculpture is art made by carving or shaping, or one piece of that art: a bronze sculpture; public sculpture. Statue is usually a person; carving is the process. Caption the sculpture in the booklet. Mix-up: scripture is sacred writing; sculptor is the artist. Do not call a 2-D print a sculpture.

Meaning

Examples

Good to know

a bronze / public sculpture; sculpture park. Person-shaped: statue. Artist: sculptor. Trap: scripture. Art and source work. 3-D art, not a painting.
