Question

A relief sculpture is __________________ a. a three-dimensional form of art that is meant to be seen from all sides. b. a sculpture that has a relationship with its surrounding and religious significance. c. a type of sculpture that contains objects embedded in a ground surface. d. a form of site specific work, which is designed to affect the way a space is experienced.

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure the answer is c. a type of sculpture that contains objects embedded in a ground surface, but I may be wrong.

Answer 2

Option C, a type of sculpture that comprises objects embedded in a ground surface, is the right answer.

Relief is a technique in the art of sculpture making where the figure remains attached to or gets support from a solid background from the same material used in the making of the figure. Therefore, the making of the sculpture through the relief technique is to give the impression that the sculpted substance has been inflated above the plain background.
