    1. Sculptors use various techniques to create sculptures including modeling with clay, assemblage of found objects, welding of metals, pottery, mobiles with moving parts, casting using processes like lost-wax, and carving wood or stone. 2. Common materials for sculpture include stainless steel, bronze, wood, marble, and corten steel, each with their own properties like durability, weight, texture, and ability to withstand outdoor display. 3. Notable Filipino sculptors and some of their works mentioned include Lamberto Hechanova, Abdulmari Imao, Eduardo Castrillo, Solomon Saprid, Ramon Orlina, Roberto Feleo

    PROCESSES/ TECHNIQUES

    USED IN SCULPTURE
    1. Modeling – is familiar to most of us from
    childhood. As children, we experimented
    with play clay to construct figures of people
    and animals and even different vehicles. In
    sculpture, the most common modeling is
    material is clay, an earth substance found in
    most of the world.
    2. Assemblage- putting together found
    objects.
    3. Welding- a process of joining metals.
    4. Pottery- it is the process of shaping a material to
    produce earthenware, stoneware, or porcelain objects.
    5 Mobile- kinetic or moving sculpture.
    6. Casting- in contrast to modeling, the casting seems
    like a very indirect method of creating a sculpture.
    Sometimes the sculptor never touches the final piece at
    all. Metal and specifically bronze is the material we think
    of most readily about casting. The most common
    method for casting metal is called the lost-wax process,
    sometimes known by its French name, cire perdue.
    7. Carving- In this process the sculptor begins with a
    block of materials and cuts until the form of the
    sculpture emerges. Wood and stone are the principal
    materials for carving, and both tend to resist the
    sculptor’s tools.
    MEDIUM IN SCULPTURE
    1. Stainless Steel
    Sculptures made of stainless-steel are durable
    thanks to their hardness and corrosion
    resistance. This also means the sculpture is
    quite heavy and durable when comparing to
    other materials. The chrome steel sculptures
    may be more costly thanks to its superiority.
    Our chrome steel sculptures are marine grade,
    meaning they withstand corrosion even in
    saltwater.
    2. Bronze
    The bronze material has been
    employed in the creation of sculptures
    for hundreds of years. Bronze is
    formed by melting both copper and tin
    together they're mixed and make it
    less brittle – the right combination to
    make bronze sculptures.
    3. Wood
    Woodcarvers sculpt the wood using
    knives or chisels to make a statue or
    perhaps small figurines; the downside
    is as compared to materials like bronze
    and stone is that it doesn’t last as long
    in an outside environment because it is
    more susceptible to damage from
    decay or fire.
    4. Marble
    A rock derived from limestone, which
    is simple for a sculptor to figure with.
    As marble ages, it becomes more
    durable and stays harder which
    provides it a protracted-lasting effect.
    The harder marble is a bonus because
    it makes it weather-resistant so you'll
    be able to use your sculpture outdoors.
    5. Corten Steel
    This weather-resistant steel makes it an
    ideal candidate for outdoor sculptures.
    When corten steel is exposed to the
    atmosphere, without painting, corten will
    begin to rust within the same way as
    ordinary steel. However, soon the alloying
    elements in corten will cause a protective
    surface layer of fine-textured rust to make,
    thus suppressing the corrosion rate.
