You need to research and understand how sculptures are made and the ideas behind them by looking at real artworks and artists. You'll identify specific methods (techniques) and artistic ideas from established sculptors, and explain them by looking at the context—where they were made, why, and how people view them. The main goal is to show you understand how sculpture techniques and concepts connect to the world around the artwork.
