Relief sculpture a work of art in which forms
project from a flat surface. There are two kinds
of relief sculpture

• Bas-relief or low relief, in which forms project
  only slightly from the background. These are
  often used in architectural ornamentation and to
  decorate coins.
• High relief, in which forms extend further out
  into space. In high relief, because forms project
  out into space, cast shadows become an important
  part of the sculpture.
