What's the difference between sculpture and ceramics? I have the option of signing up for sculpture or ceramics, but there is no description given. I was wondering what I could generally expect to see in these kinds of classes. Does sculpture mean you are trying to model something else and ceramics are more free form? I'm clueless so please help! thanks!

The process you are referring to is known as carving. It involves removing material from a stone or wood block using tools such as chisels, knives, and saws to shape the sculpture. Carving is a common technique used in sculpting to create intricate designs and details by subtracting material from the original block.

In ancient Egyptian, the word for sculpture is the same as the word for "to carve." This reflects the significance of carving in their artistic traditions, where both sculpture and carving were essential techniques used to create representations of deities, pharaohs, and other important figures in their culture. The dual meaning highlights the intertwined nature of art and craftsmanship in ancient Egyptian society.
