Sculpture can be defined as a three-dimensional artwork created by shaping or combining a variety of materials such as hard plastics, wood, cement and clay. Sculpture requires an analytical knowledge of spatial aspects gained through drawing from life. The art of drawing therefore forms an important part of sculptural analysis. Learners are encouraged to draw as both inspiration and information and as future references in their sculptural work.
