In the first paragraph identify the set of sculptures that were chosen and which of those two appealed to you the most. This is your opinion but don't use the terminology in this opening. But, remember that you will be referring to it later. You may even want to develop this part last. Avoid using the word details in this opening statement.

In the second paragraph choose one of the sculptures and discuss both implied and actual texture. The discussion of texture only needs to be applied to one of the sculptures. Remember that all things have actual textures (textures that really exist and can be felt). In sculpture these actual textures are more prevalent and relevant than in paintings. Many sculptures also have implied textures - those that can be imagined because of how the work is presented, but would not feel that way if we actually touched the sculpture.

In the third paragraph identify the sculpture that was not used for texture and apply a sculpture term to it. There were several other sculpture terms identified within the sculpture lecture and reinforcement (contrapposto, patina, tableau, etc.) Do not use medium or technique unless how it impacts the subbject matter can be successfully applied. You may want to select this one before selecting the one to which you will apply implied texture. Do not use relief, undercut, or 'in the round' for this part as they are covered in other parts of the assignment.

In the fourth paragraph identify which of the sculptures is 'in relief' and determine whether it is in low relief or high relief. Make sure you know how to identify the types of relief. Give rationale for your choice. Then, discuss how viewing the sculpture 'in the round' communicates differently from the one 'in relief'. Do NOT just state that it can be seen from various points of view. Rather discuss how that fact makes this particular sculpture communicate differently in some way.  

In the last paragraph choose terminology from your post. Discuss how it reinforces your opening statement. If you cannot discuss how it reinforces your opening statement, then adjust your opening statement to make that application easier. But, do not use the terminology in that opening statement. Use it in the closing one.
