But today, the lines have blurred and sculpture as an artform does not follow all the rules of the previous ages and eras. Earlier the sculptures holded the definition of having a specific figure or a recognizable and sensible form, something that everyone could relate to. Historically, sculptures were derived out of the human figurines or the figurines of gods and goddesses. Today, many sculptures are also exhibited permanently as installations in various public realms like streets, gardens, and even plazas and malls. Many times the sculptures and their themes are also context oriented. They mostly have an integrated thought of the artist and are presented in the sense of that. Sculptures as an artform cannot be defined by a particular color, atrial or even form. The design of a sculpture can vary from it being embedded on a surface or a free standing object, or even a kind of unseen/unnoticed discovery. Sculptures are a three dimensional artform, given shape and brought to life by various materials and many different techniques.
