Changes

Sculptors are constantly searching for new ways to make art and for new materials to use. [[Andy Goldsworthy]] is notable as a sculptor for his use of almost entirely natural materials in natural settings and for creating sculptures much more ephemeral than is typical. [[Jim Gary]] used automobile parts, tools, machine parts, and hardware in his sculptures as well as stained glass.[[ Pablo Picasso]] used bicycle parts for one of his most famous sculptures. [[Alexander Calder]] and other modernists made spectacular use of painted steel. Since the 1960s, acrylics and other plastics have been used as well. Despite durability being the usual objective, some sculpture is deliberately short lived -- for example, ice and [[sand sculptures]] or [[gas sculptures]].

Sculptors often build small preliminary works called [[maquettes]] of ephemeral materials such as [[plaster of Paris]], wax, clay, and even [[plasticine]], as [[Alfred Gilbert]] did for 'Eros' at [[Piccadilly Circus]], London. In [[Retroarchaeology]], these materials are generally the end product.
