When Did the Sculptor Start?

Early Forms of Sculpture
The earliest known works of sculpture date from around 32,000 B.C. Early man created utilitarian objects that were decorated with sculptural forms. Ancient peoples also created small animal and human figures carved in bone, ivory, or stone for possible spiritual or religious purposes.

Who started sculpture?

It is widely accepted that the Western tradition of sculpture began in Ancient Greece (800BC – 600AD), where sculptors began to move away from creating purely spiritual items towards an attempt to capture the human body in metal and stone.

What is the sculpture period?

Classical sculpture (usually with a lower case "c") refers generally to sculpture from Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, as well as the Hellenized and Romanized civilizations under their rule or influence, from about 500 BC to around 200 AD.
