Painting and sculpture are two fundamental forms of visual art. Painting involves applying pigments to a surface, such as canvas or paper, to create images or express ideas. Artists use various techniques, styles, and materials, including oil, acrylic, and watercolor, to convey emotions and tell stories through their work. Sculpture, on the other hand, is a three-dimensional art form created by shaping materials like clay, stone, metal, or wood. Sculptors can carve, model, or assemble these materials to produce figures, abstract forms, or installations. Both painting and sculpture have rich histories and continue to evolve with contemporary practices.
