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.

Description
En raison de la conversion des forêts en zones agricoles ou en zones d’habitat humain, de nombreuses populations d'éléphants de Sumatra ont vu leur habitat disparaître. En conséquence, de nombreux éléphants ont été capturés ou tués. En plus des morts liées aux conflits, les éléphants sont également la cible du braconnage pour leur ivoire. Entre 1985 et 2007, 50 % des éléphants de Sumatra sont morts2. Entre 1980 et 2005, 69 % de l’habitat potentiel de l’éléphant de Sumatra a été détruit, et les forces motrices à l’origine de cette perte d’habitat demeurent essentiellement incontrôlées. Il existe des preuves claires et directes qui montrent que dans deux provinces, Riau et Lampung, des populations entières d'éléphants ont disparu à la suite de la perte de leur habitat6. Une grande partie de la couverture forestière restante est constituée de blocs de moins de 250 km², trop petits pour contenir des populations viables d'éléphants2.
