Why is sculpture called real form?

Because it can be viewed and touched from different sides

The governing concept is actual three-dimensionality. Sculpture is made as a physical object with length, width, depth, and volume, so it occupies real space rather than merely suggesting space on paper. A viewer can walk around it, observe changes in outline from different viewpoints, and usually touch its material surface, subject to the context in which the artwork is displayed. Option A is correct because these properties demonstrate that the form is physically present. Option B describes a flat image, which is two-dimensional. Option C is incomplete because a sculpture also has depth and volume, while option D confuses visual art with sound production. Actual depth, mass, and touchable presence distinguish real form from implied form.
