Sculpture is one of the art from. It is a variety of artistic images carved and shaped using various materials. From the perspective of construction materials, sculptures can be divided into: stone carving, wood carving, pottery carving, metal sculpture and so on. Metal sculpture refers to all sculptures made of metal. Metal sculpture is a very important part of the field of sculpture art. The ductility, plasticity and luster of metal materials make metal sculptures noble and elegant. Traditional metal sculpture production methods are mainly metal casting or forging. Metal casting is a technology that replaces the temporary material of the original model with a permanent metal material. The metal does not play a role in modelling.
The modelling is performed on the original model material such as clay molds, wood molds and wax molds. Metal casting sculptures are the final replicas of soft material sculptures such as clay sculptures. The biggest advantage of metal casting is that it can retain all the subtle traces of carving in the artist's creative process. The forging method is a special sculpture forming method produced after the development of handicraft civilization. It is different from the decline of engraving materials and the addition of molding materials. In terms of material processing, relatively speaking, there is no increase or decrease in the amount of material. , But give full play to the ductility of the metal sheet to produce volume changes in space.
The metal in the forging molding appears in the shape of a solid flat plate, which is beaten into a solid undulating shape according to the design intent. Change the physical properties of the sheet metal, presenting a consciously concave and convex object.
