What's sculpture?
A sculpture is what is remaining when you take a block of stone, wood, ice, soap, or butter or a mound of clay and you carve away everything on the outside to bring what is hiding on the inside into the light of day. Someone said this simpler than I have here, but you can get the gist of my meaning.
Now for a more definitive answer:

What is sculpture?
Sculpture is an art form that is three-dimensional. Sculpture can be viewed from all sides and angles, or it can be viewed from only one direction. When it is viewed from all sides, it is known as sculpture in the round. Sculpture seen from one direction only is called relief.
Sculpture is an art form that requires a great deal of technical skill as well as creativity. Often, sculptors train for many years. Sculptors create their art in many different ways and different materials.
Additive-When a sculptor starts with nothing and builds a form with wax, clay, papier mache, or other materials. (Red Grooms, The Kid, 1987, Enamel on steel, Edition of four, 33 x 30 x 24 inches, Collection of the artist and Lysiane Loung). Commissioned by the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Museum purchase with funds from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Benjamin I. Tillar Memorial Trust.
Subtractive-When a sculptor cuts or carves away from material such as wood or stone to create a form. The sculptor subtracts what is not necessary in the sculpture. (Michelangelo, Moses, 1513-1516, Rome, San Pietro in Vincoli)
Constructive-When a sculptor uses materials such as metal, wood, or plastic and puts them together with bolts, nails, and glue. Contemporary artists may create sculpture by putting together objects they have found in new and interesting ways. This is called assemblage. (Alexander Calder [1898-1976]; Hats Off, 1969, from the Donald M. Kendall Sculpture Gardens at PepsiCo.)
Casting-A method of reproducing a sculpture by pouring a liquid, such as bronze, into a mold made by the artist. This allows the artist to make many copies of the piece. (Glenna Goodacre, Naiads, bronze casting, larger-than-life, Botanic Garden Center and Conservatory)
