The oldest known sculpture in existence dates from 40,000 years ago. \u201cThe lion man\u201d, found in Germany in 1939, still exists because it was carved in ivory.<\/p>\n

The oldest known paintings date from even earlier. The \u201cThree wild pigs\u201d on the walls of a limestone cave in Indonesia date from 45,000 years ago. They were only discovered in 2021.<\/p>\n

In both cases, they are still with us because of the materials used.<\/p>\n

As regards sculpture, there are 3 basic types. Assembly, Carving and Modelling.<\/p>\n

Assembled<\/strong>\u00a0works tend to be low-relief and are designed to hang.<\/p>\n

Modelled<\/strong>\u00a0works are normally also 3 dimensional but modeling can be the starting point of a piece which ends up being fired, like clay, OR cast into a variety of metals. Cast works can be produced in editions – all replicas of the original.<\/p>\n
