Question

PLEASE HELP! Compare relief sculpture to free standing sculpture. What do you think the benefits are of making a relief over a free-standing one? What might be a drawback?​

Answer 1

Answer: For context, a relief sculpture is done on a flat surface. It looks more like a carving. A relief might be easier to create is it can be mounted, shaped like a drawing, and perhaps less heavy. A drawback might be that it’s less three dimensional, or that it might be harder to make it more realistic.
