Sculpture, as one of the classic branches of fine art, has its beginnings in the distant past. The shaping of materials by modeling and carving was already applied in prehistoric times, and today the development of new materials has enabled numerous techniques of sculptural expression. However, sculpting techniques in elementary school classrooms must be designed and implemented in accordance with their psychophysical and motor capabilities. The curriculum for elementary school follows the developmental stages of students' artistic expression and creation, so sculpting techniques are aligned with that. The theoretical part of this paper presents the historical development of sculpture as well as its basic features. All sculpting techniques are briefly presented, with a special emphasis on those that are suitable for classroom teaching. In the practical part, the research was conducted using a questionnaire on a sample of 107 classroom teachers in the Republic of Croatia. The aim of the research was to examine the frequency of use of sculptural techniques in art classes and how familiar they are with sculptural techniques.
