Outdoor Sculpture Ideas

Contemporary Water Fountain Sculptures

• Contemporary water fountain sculptures are a modern creation with an abstract appeal that incorporates the calming element of water. The fountains can be found in free standing form, or come as wall mounts, and may require a lot of maintenance. Contemporary pieces add more of a cutting edge aesthetic to any outdoor area, as they feature bold lines and prominent shapes that give a more modern feel to that of a traditional fountain.

Stone Sculptures

• Stone sculptures are pieces of art that are chiseled from varying types and sizes of stone to look like different objects. Stone sculptors can carve an image into almost any type of stone and can use any subject for a template. Stone sculptures add a more traditional appeal to any outdoor area, and can be an expensive addition to a yard depending on the size and grade of the stone.

Classic Greek Sculptures

• Classic Greek sculptures have been around for 2,500 years and were crafted as a means to give thanks to Greek gods for praise of good fortune, and to receive approval in their eyes for good times to follow. Many of the sculptures were created to exalt a particular god or goddess and were designed in larger proportions. Some sculptures were created to represent a myth or were designed to be a symbol of man's purpose in life. Reproductions of these sculptures are a way to add a sense of elegance to any outdoor area.
