This standard asks you to research and analyze how established sculptors work and develop their ideas. You'll study at least three artists from at least two different sources, then explain the methods they use, why they make work the way they do, and how their work is understood and valued. It's about going beyond just describing sculptures—it's about understanding the thinking and techniques behind them.
