The sculpture

Sculpture is one of the most diverse, fascinating and varied art forms in Western art. From the gigantic sculpted pieces of ancient Greece to the abstract sculptures of contemporary art, from the figurines of prehistoric civilizations to the kinetic sculptures of the 20th century, this art is as diverse as it is intriguing. 4

Sculptural art began in the Upper Paleolithic with a small figure known as the Löwenmensch. It is considered to be over 40,000 years old. Sculpture can be made with most 3D modular materials. Here are the four main procedures of this art over the centuries: rock cutting, wood carving, metal sculpture casting and ceramic modulation.

To know everything about mixed media sculpture

The tendency to combine materials and supports has given new impetus to contemporary sculpture. These mixed media works fascinate the observer and suggest different interpretations to their imagination.

What is a mixed media sculpture?

In the visual arts, mixed media sculpture refers to an approach by which an artist combines at least two different mediums or technical means. The use of this mode of creation can aim for two objectives: the personalization of the work as much as possible or the exploration of the interactions between the elements used.

Description
La population des orang-outans de Bornéo comptait en 2007 d'après l'UICN entre 45 000 et 69 000 individus, entre 3 000 et 30 000 fin 2010, selon une estimation des associations locales et internationales de protection de l'orang-outan. L'espèce aura disparu totalement à l'état sauvage avant la fin de la décennie (2020) si rien n'est fait, notamment la création de sanctuaires protégés dans les dernières forêts tropicales humides malaisiennes et indonésiennes. Le calcul de leur population se fait par estimation : on observe le nombre de nids, puis on extrapole pour une zone, ce qui n'est donc valable que pour une région. L'UICN et l'UNESCO ont dressé une carte assez précise. Une synthèse des données est disponible17 Mais ces mêmes pays qui tirent profit de la déforestation massive, souvent unique richesse, ne parviennent pas encore à délimiter et à transformer des surfaces boisées qui se raréfient de jour en jour, en parcs nationaux protégées, à moins qu'ils y soient contraints.wikipedia
