Stone sculpture

Hello there! Do you know what a sculpture is? It's like making something out of clay or other materials, but instead of it being soft and squishy like playdough, it's hard and solid like a rock.

Stone sculpture is when people make sculptures out of big, heavy rocks. They use special tools like hammers and chisels to carve and shape the rock until it looks like the sculpture they want to make. It's kind of like making a statue, but instead of using clay or plaster or other materials, they're using a big old rock!

Sometimes, stone sculptures can be really big and heavy, like the ones you see in the park or in front of buildings. Other times, they can be smaller and easier to hold in your hand. People all around the world have been making stone sculptures for thousands of years, because it's a really cool way to make art that can last for a long, long time.
