Abstract [English]

This article advocates for a sustainable approach in sculpture education, recognizing the environmental impact of traditional sculpture-making processes such as stone carving, wood carving, metal casting, and ceramics. By promoting the use of eco-friendly materials, encouraging the exploration of alternative techniques, and fostering a mindset of resourcefulness and conservation, art institutions and educators can play a crucial role in shaping a new generation of sculptors committed to environmental stewardship and social responsibility. Art has always been a reflection of society, shaping narratives, perceptions, and attitudes. In the modern era, the role of art extends beyond aesthetics, towards embracing social responsibility. This research explores the evolving landscape of art practices, emphasizing sustainability as a core principle. By examining case studies, strategies, and the impact of socially responsible art, this article aims to highlight the importance of artists and institutions in fostering positive change within communities. Through a sustainable approach to art, we can not only create visually captivating works but also inspire social progress and environmental consciousness.
