Garden Sculpture Is Divided By Function

1) Monumental sculpture. Monumental sculpture is the theme of people or events in history or real life, or it can be a permanent memorial to some kind of common idea. It is used to commemorate important people and major historical events. Generally, such sculptures are mostly outdoors and indoors. Such as Nanjing Yuhuatai Martyrs Group Statue, Shanghai Hongkou Park Lu Xun Statue, etc.
2) Thematic sculpture. Thematic sculpture refers to the thematic description of a specific place, environment, or building, which must be organically combined with these environments, and point out the theme, or even sublimate the theme. Make the viewer clearly feel the characteristics of this environment. It can have commemorative, educational, beautifying, illustrative and other meanings. Thematic sculpture reveals themes of urban architecture and the built environment. For example, there is an iconic sculpture "Rebounding Pipa" in the downtown area of Dunhuang City, which is based on the Dunhuang mural Rebounding Pipa Trick Le Feitian Statue, showing the unique style and charm of the ancient "Silk Road", and also showing the characteristics of the city's world-famous Mogao Grottoes. This type of sculpture closely follows the environment and history of the city, and can see the life, spirit, personality and pursuits of a city.
3) Decorative sculpture. Decorative sculpture is a larger category of urban sculpture, which is more relaxed and cheerful, and is also known as sculpture sketches. It is specifically proposed here as a category because it is becoming more and more important in people's lives, and people, animals, plants, and utensils can be used as themes. Its main purpose is to beautify the living space, which can be as small as a living utensil, as large as a street sculpture, the content expressed is extremely wide, and the forms of expression are also colorful. It creates a comfortable and beautiful environment that purifies people's hearts, cultivates people's emotions, and cultivates people's pursuit of beautiful things. For example, the swan spreading its wings in the Quchi Shengchun Scenic Area of Ritan Park in Beijing and the images of athletes, children and animals in gardens around the world.
4) Functional sculpture. Functional sculpture is a kind of practical sculpture, an art that combines art with the use of function, and this kind of sculpture is also omnipresent from private space to public space. While beautifying the environment, it also enriches our environment and enlightens people's thinking. Let people truly feel the beauty in the details of life. The primary purpose of functional sculpture is practicality. For example, garbage bins in the park, large children's play instruments, etc.
5) Display sculpture. Display sculpture is also known as shelf sculpture, which shows that the size is generally not large. It also has indoor and outdoor differences, but it is an experimental product that fully expresses the author's own thoughts and feelings, style and personality, and even a new theory and new idea with sculpture as the main body. Its formal approach is even more dazzling, the content is more extensive, and the material application is more modern.
