Romanesque sculptors used to carve portal sculpture on cathedrals they emphasized the religious message over the lifelike depiction of figures.
A sculpture is a three-dimensional object that is meant to be viewed in the round.
Michelangelo admired the sculpture technique of the Ancient Greeks. While he was working in Rome, he would often spend time admiring and looking at a sculpture called "Laocoön and His Sons". He thought it was genial. If you pull up an image of this sculpture you'll see why, it really is marvelous.
The type of sculpture in which materials like clay are shaped or formed is known as "modeling." This technique involves adding and manipulating the material to create desired shapes and details. Unlike carving, which removes material from a solid mass, modeling allows for more flexibility and creativity in forming three-dimensional art. Clay is a popular medium for this type of sculpture due to its malleability and ease of use.
Romanesque Architecture is a form of medieval architecture that adapts the roman styles of construction (as in the phrase "roman"-esque), seen distinctly in its rounded arches. It developed around 6th century AD and is often compared to its descendant, Gothic Architecture. What makes it different is the lack of large penetrations in the walls (examples are taken from the medieval churches as little else constructed from that time remains standing). Most of these churches often used tapestries rather than stained glass (as in the high Gothic ages) to document and/or tell stories. The romanesque churches have a rather heavy feel to them with very solid and large wall structures with attached (rather than flying) buttresses.
Collage art is an art technique involving the grouping of several images or objects to make a complete work. It can be in paint, wood, sculpture and other mediums. Pablo Picasso is probably the best known collage artist.

11th century Romanesque masons constructed monumental groin vaults by first creating a framework of intersecting barrel vaults, which were made from stone or brick. They meticulously designed the curves and angles to distribute weight evenly, using thick walls to support the heavy stone ceilings. The use of ribbing and pointed arches helped to enhance stability and aesthetics. This innovative technique allowed for larger, more open interior spaces in churches and cathedrals.
