The document discusses various elements of sculpture including: - The three main sculpting processes are carving (subtractive), modeling (additive), and casting. - A relief is a type of sculpture that projects from its background and is often found on gates or buildings. - An armature is a rigid internal structure used to support wet clay or other soft materials being sculpted. - Other sculpting techniques include assemblage, welding, and installation sculptures using multiple pieces.
