Bronze is the first alloy invented in history! It’s a metal made of 80 - 90% copper and 10 - 20% tin. It is the most popular sculptural material because it expands when hot and shrinks as it cools, which makes it easier to transfer impressions from the mold. The oldest bronze sculpture is thought to be “Dancing Girl from Mohenjodaro,” circa 2500 B.C. Bronze has been made into weapons, statues, monuments, tools, mechanical parts, and many other items since ancient times. 
Whether it’s the merry month of May, an early holiday gift, or just because, it’s always a wonderful time to show your mom, grandma or mother figure how much you love them with art!
Maybe you’ve seen a miniature painting before, but have you witnessed a tiny sculpture or mini with three-dimensional details so small, you would find them with a magnifying glass?
The awards for the 35th International Miniature Art Show have been announced. This year’s winners celebrate the incredible talent, creativity, and detail that make miniature art one of the most captivating forms of original art.
