What is the difference between in the round and relief sculptures?

Sculpture in the round has a front and a back. It is meant to be seen from all sides. Relief sculpture is meant to be seen from only one side and it can be low relief or high relief.

How are raised areas of relief created in clay?

Raised areas are created by the addition of small clay strips, coils, and pellets. When clay parts are added, it is necessary to rough up the sur- face, add a little water, and press the pieces firmly into place.
