Sculpture is a unique art form associated with the creation of three-dimensional art forms in real space, which is why the sculptor relies on the practice of plasticity of the volume of a figure and object in real space.

According to the great Michelangelo, sculpture is the first of the arts, and the first sculptor is God, who molded Adam from clay. The history of sculpture in its modern sense began with one of the earliest civilizations of ancient Egypt, this art reached its heyday and perfection in classical Greece. Large sculptures of antiquity created figures of gods and heroes of the Olympics.
