A sculptor makes things you can touch, like a statue or a chair. A painter makes pictures on flat surfaces like walls or canvas. One works with solid materials, the other with color and light. Think of it like building a house versus painting its walls, both are art, but they use different tools.
Examples
- A sculptor builds a statue out of clay, while a painter draws a portrait with colored pencils.
- The sculptor shapes a chair out of wood; the painter paints a picture on canvas.
- A little girl makes a ball out of playdough, she’s like a sculptor. Her brother draws a tree in crayon, he’s more like a painter.
