sculptures. The sculptures were mostly tributes to Gods as an offering or way of bargaining.

Modern day and 20 th Century

Similarities Differences

Made out of whatever the sculptor feels is appropriate. 20th Century sculptures were made out of conventional substances (such as metal) whereas modern day sculptures use all kinds of materials (such as cheese).

The 20th Century and the Modern day (21st Century) are very similar to each other and The Modern day, being the most recent time (the present day), has the most variation, flexibility and creativity in its work. This is because most public restrictions have been removed and society nowadays is more open minded. For example in the 20th Century sculptures were usually of singular objects, people and things. Sculptures nowadays have splices of many things and even borders on beingcontroversial.

The 20th Century and the Modern day (21st Century) sculptures are very similar to each other

because they are made in times very close to each other and so the 20th century influences the 21st century.
