Answer the following question in 3-4 complete sentences. Define and describe the attributes of a high relief? Examine the relief sculpture above. Explain what attributes make it an example of a high relief.

Answer:

A high relief is a form of relief that extends at least halfway out of the background. You can see in this relief sculpture that the sculpted parts curve back into the background to created spaces(men and the horses). This action creates strong shadowing and overlapping, and the objects appear to be projecting out of the surface. These attributes can be seen in this relief sculpture and are attributes of a high relief.
