Abstract:
The concept of freehand sculpture originates from the freehand quality of sculpture and sculpture with freehand qualities. However, the three are not equivalent. Freehand quality which embodies a broad sense is universally present in all sculptures. Hence the subject of freehand quality in sculpture can be regarded as the entirety of sculptural art. Sculpture with freehand qualities refers to sculpture works with freehand spirit and expression that allow its viewers to reach a subjective emotional consensus on the manifestation of freehand quality. Freehand sculpture surpasses sculpture with freehand qualities in the degree of freehand. It also requires clearer and deeper conceptual, ontological, technical, and cultural consciousness during the creative process.
