Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent handle sculpture by technique, material, history, artists, conservation and safe practice, with sourced information.

The art of making three-dimensional works by carving, modelling, casting, constructing or assembling materials such as stone, bronze, wood, clay, glass, bone and even sugar or ice, ranging from religious and public monuments to contemporary installations.

What it is for: Artistic expression, commemoration and decoration.

It can be explain sculptural techniques and materials; find information on sculptors and works; find classes and safe workshop practice; understand conservation and public art rules.
