Question

Answer the following question in 1-2 complete sentences.

Long, thin panels extend out of a red wall.
Is this an example of a relief? Why?
What type of relief sculpture is it? Explain.

Answer 1

Yes — because the panels are attached to and project out from the wall they constitute a relief sculpture. Since they extend noticeably outward rather than staying shallow, this would be classified as a high (haut) relief, where the forms project prominently from the background.
