Sculpture and 3D Art: This topic covers the creation of three-dimensional artistic forms using materials like clay, stone, metal, or wood. Sculpture and 3D art can range from figurative to abstract, and techniques vary from carving and modeling to assembling and casting.

Assemblage: Assemblage is an artistic process that involves creating a three-dimensional composition by putting together found objects. These objects can be anything from natural materials to everyday items, and the art form is known for its eclectic and often conceptual nature.

Collage: Collage is a creative technique where art is made by assembling different forms, often paper cut-outs, photographs, and fabric, onto a canvas or board. This form allows for a diverse range of expressions, as artists combine various textures, images, and materials to create new, layered compositions.

Polymer Clay: Polymer clay is a versatile modeling material that is hardened by baking, used in crafting and art. It is popular for its ease of use and the ability to blend colors and create intricate details. Artists use it to make a variety of items, from jewelry and figurines to decorative art pieces.
