Question

Which statement accurately describes Assyrian relief sculptures? Artists created them by pouring molten metal into molds. They document the lives of ordinary Assyrian citizens. Body parts of the figures in the reliefs are posed in their most recognizable positions. Artists carved them in high relief and painted them in bright colors.

Answer 1

Answer:

In a high relief, or alto-relievo, the forms project at least half or more of their natural circumference from the background and may in parts be completely disengaged from the ground, thus approximating sculpture in the round.

Explanation:

bas-relief \bah-rih-LEEF\ noun. art : sculptural relief in which the projection from the surrounding surface is slight and no part of the modeled form is undercut; also : sculpture executed in bas-relief.
