Man has been using sculpture as a primary way of showing artistic expression for thousands of years. As a matter of fact, before actual history was recorded, sculpture was being utilized by ancient culture to record the world and how they lived. People used sculpture as a way of describing their life from the very beginning. Sculpture also showed how the environment has changed over the years and to represent concerns of the society at each time in history. For example, politics, morality and religion were shown with sculpture.
So to answer your question, yes sculpture is indeed a form of art and has been a very popular form of art for ages. In fact, sculpture was considered a form of art even before other types of art, such as drawing, were even recognized. People considered sculpture to be one of the demonstrations of the human form and as such was seen as the definitive artistic foundation.

Art is very subjective and people all over the world disagree on what constitutes art. Sculpting is very definitely an art form. Some of the most famous artists in the world are sculptors.

Sculpture has been an art form since prehistoric times. Some of the most famous sculptors are François-Auguste-René Rodin and Michelangelo. Camille Claudelle was a famous female sculptor who was also Rodin’s lover.

Jeff Koons is a famous contemporary sculptor. Check out his website at http:/www.jeffkoons.com/
