Sculpture Techniques
                  There are a few techniques such as modelling, carving, casting and construction.
        Modelling is fixable material which allows more or the material to be added or even subtracted.
        Carving is a limited to only the size of material here is using tools the material is chipped away, the only way in which to correct a mistake is to construct the individual part which has gone wrong in the same material that the sculpture is made of and mechanically attach them together.
        Casting is a technique that allows the artist to reproduce their work whether it is modelled, carved or constructed.
