All the fine spirit and sculpture have the characteristics of cross-national character. When we praise the Qin Dynasty Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the plastic arts, but also by "Discus" touched by rigorous modeling. As the sculptures are characteristic of solid materials used to make it more permanent value. Sculpture is a value on human life itself, life meaning of affirmation, art, the aesthetic ideal of human emotional highlight is the spirit of human exchanges between each other is a special language. Many outstanding monument sculpture, reflect a national, ethnic history of high ideals and struggle, people can learn about the nation's past, but also from a true taste of reality.

As we all know, according to Andersen's Little Mermaid a parable shaped sculpture in Copenhagen, Denmark last year, the beach is theft. Many young women had heard about after the Danish distressed, so they voluntarily lined up, wear mermaid costumes, mermaid style imitating the attitude to tourists.

Three-dimensional art of sculpture is the gate, it is in the form of three-dimensional space, and material composition with a solid material, it can through its own shape, a typical representation of life, expression of the concept of feelings. Sculpture as a solid to hold three-dimensional art, it is intuitive and objective existence, in the same time gives a visual beauty, but also gives people a sense of direct touch, realistic.
In today's era of rapid development, the concept of sculpture has become an expression of commitment to environmental reform and the importance of art forms. When people walk in the urban and the rural, whether street or garden green, the content varied, form the total thousands of sculptures appear from time to time. Inside the buildings, whether public places or private space for families, but also the use of a large number of sculptures. Sculpture in the transformation of the environment, regulating climate, wills to express feelings, enhance communication, expand its influence, and many people in this aspect of the service, otherwise difficult to play a positive role alternatives. Its artistic influence and impact can not be substituted by other kinds of art, it is more direct contacts with the masses of people to exchange a wider range of art forms. A successful sculptures and even a country, a city, a symbol of local cultural standards.
The concept of sculpture, literally, as the action mode of "stone" refers to the use of tools for the hollowing out of a solid material means and actions decreasing. "Plastic" is just the opposite is the hands and tools with the bonding of the constant volume of material accumulated and consciously added. The essence of sculpture to add and subtract on the implementation of the transformation of materials, create a suitable person, with a unique aesthetic process.
The classification of sculpture from different angles and different from the subject of it, figure sculpture, animal sculptures. From the way to realize the point of view, can be divided into full relief, relief. From an artistic point of view, can be divided into figurative sculpture, abstract sculpture.

Points from the function, another memorial sculpture, decorative sculpture, landmark sculpture and so on. Its classification as much material extensively to determine the categories of sculpture, a wide range of applicability of this art.
I know from hour to learn sculpture, painting began. Beginner drawing at the time, Venus, David Head, Alexander picture, pirate ... ... which Respect plaster, we describe the object. At that time, I do not know they are the sculpture, I do not know how they are made, wonder why one image is more than a century has experienced a treasured classic, but they are perfect, but deeply imprinted on my mind in.
Sculpture, the discipline, it is a culture, it can, emotions and the United States can produce. I went to secondary school in the first pick up the mud, according models do it, I really feel that sculpture is not far away from those who enjoys popular classic that can be seemingly insignificant and there is no trace of emotion in the mud , stone, steel and iron to shape, temper out. Since then, I chose the career in sculpture. Although it is dirty, tired, as the girls I chose it. It is and mud, stone, wood, metal dealing with labor, chosen it, is to choose a hardship, but when I was shaking hands in the mud, face model, I have the urge to reproduce it, I want it in my the hands of the regeneration, I love that process - to a pile of muddy, molded into the bone and meat of life. I hope, from my hands to create a beautiful sculpture.
Last year I had the honor to Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts education learning. Brief but intense study, during which I increased the enthusiasm of sculpture. In institutions of higher learning, I like a pilgrimage of believers, where every one listened carefully to my words of inspiration. Open his eyes to see I can see every piece of art found their success, unique, perceived pulse of the development of sculpture. I too cherish this opportunity, I have to enlarge every pore of my body, to suck the air there.
Sculptures and other categories, like any art, there must be a solid basic skills, excellent modeling means. The sculptures require more than other genre. It requires us to have a pair of sharp eyes, there must be an accurate observation, but also a skilled and accurate hands. In shaping the process, require an "Grossly six sides, hand-to-P Plus." Six face is in front, behind, left, right, above, below. P Plus is the front, rear, left, right, top, bottom, in side, foreign. Features in an instant to grasp an object, hand out all aspects of performance.
Sculpture is constantly revised, and constantly improve the process of amendment in the comparison process repeated to always maintain the fresh first impression. Only by maintaining a fresh state, will create a lively work full of vitality.
Sculpture process is long and arduous process, it is to experience the idea of shaping the model, material conversion process to complete. As the process of making sculpture, is familiar with the master, the use of tools and equipment, processing material and the material transformation of operation. Making sculpture means indeed difficult to count. However, the main means of shaping the "stone" and "plastic" in two ways, "stone" that is, sculpture is the use of knives, chisels and other instruments, such as through the external hammer of stone, wood, bamboo, brick, dry paint, bone, metal sculpture and all the materials can be cut, diminishing the method used to produce images of the eyes. "Plastic" can be called "shaping" the most used material is clay, or "clay", is based on addition and subtraction and use the means, a conscious form of additional, final desired shape. The sculptures are often shaped by molding material conversion process, such as reproduction plaster, glass and steel. Shall also be copied to hard materials. After firing, casting, and other means to become a permanent hard materials such as iron, copper, aluminum and other metal materials. In addition to "eagle" "plastic" means, there are also forging, synthesis, nail screw, bonding, welding, binding, weaving, and other diverse means of production. With the development will also generate more forms.
Sculpture production embodies the values of human existence, to meet the needs of the human aesthetic. Sculpture is the increase in mental test of physical strength is an important artistic activity in physical labor. As the former Central Academy of Fine Arts He Yanming old gentleman talk about sculpture, he said: "The sculpture is it? Sculpture is a labor centers, labor, toil and labor of people." While the bitter, tired, but it will love it people, willing involvement of its laborers, brought a lot of fun. Sculpture progress is tempered in practice in the long term created, it needs wisdom, but also need a spirit - hard.
