	Sculpture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Throughout most of history, the purpose of creating sculpture has been to produce works of art that are as permanent as is possible, so to that end works were usually produced in durable and frequently expensive materials, primarily bronze and stone such as marble, limestone, porphyry, and granite.
		Classic examples of this are the removal of penises from the Vatican collection of Greek sculpture and the addition of a fig leaf to a plaster cast of Michelangelo's sculpture of David for Queen Victoria's visit to the British Museum.
		Ice sculpture is a form of sculpture that uses ice as the raw material.

		THE spirit of Greek sculpture is synonymous with the spirit of sculpture.
		Greek sculpture was of remarkably rapid growth, developing under conditions which are not generally believed to be favorable.
		The end of Greek sculpture may be said to have come when all the technical problems had been solved and the mental degeneration of the race, unwilling to accept the moral and religious views of the new era, had no more worthy ideas to suggest.

	Classical Greek Sculpture: Methods: Bronze
		Contrary to the familiar image of Greek sculpture as white marble statues, about half of all sculpture produced during antiquity was composed of bronze.
		During the Archaic period, sculpture was restricted to the Eastern influenced stringency of pose, seen in the kore and kouros figures, partly by the tendency for their medium of either marble or terra cotta clay to crack if say an arm was extended or fall over if the body was turned in some angle.
		Any sculpture created from any of the previous casting techniques still needed some finishing touches after it was removed from the mold and after the core inside was scrapped out, before it was considered complete.

	Classical Sculpture
		The form of classical sculpture became fluid and natural and the stylization of the archaic art gave way to realistic figures which emanated the illusion of moving through space.
		For the first time in human history, human anatomy was deemed worthy of being immortalized in stone or bronze, and the humble and laborious forward step of the kouros statues was replaced by poses that commanded their space with effortless movement.
		The reason for this is that ancient Greeks believed that suppression of the emotions was a noble characteristic of all civilized men, while the public display of human emotion was a sign of barbarism.
