Abstract The man could create artistic works since his early life and they represented a necessary need linked with the style of his life in its various changes. The art became an assisting factor for him to get the satisfaction of the metaphysical powers and to help him to get a kind of assurance towards his spiritual fears. The practice of the art became a part of the human life because of many factors such as the religious beliefs, the social rituals and ceremonies and the art became for him as a tool to express his various hopes and what surrounds him and crosses his mind. The art helped in immortalizing the human achievements and activities by all means.

Therefore the attention to the art with all its genres is one of the characteristics of this society. Thus, the researcher tried to pay attention to it and study it by writing about this en particular the art of sculpture as there is not any academic study about it. This was what pushed the researcher to study this subject in this research which consists of four chapters. The first chapter dealt with problem of the research which treats the history of art since its beginning from the Stone Age till our day in brief.

The second section dealt with studying the historical root of expressing in the sculptures and it treats the expressing concepts in the art of sculpture within a historical context of the trends, means, and historical ages which witnessed a distinguishing achievement in the art of sculpturing as follow: 1- the concept of expressing in the mother goddess- the old stone age 2- the concept of expressing in the statues of the modern stone age 3- the concept of expressing in the Samarian statues 4- the concept of expressing in the Acadian statues 5- the concept of expressing in the Saurian statues 6- the concept of expressing in the Pharaonic statues 7- the concept of expressing in the Greek statues 8- the concept of expressing in the statues of the Italian renaissance 9- the concept of expressing in the statues of the new classicism 10- the concept of expressing in the modern trends in sculpture.

This section dealt with the relationship between the content the artistic work has and the raw material used to make it and how choosing the raw material available for it and their effects on each other in the accomplished work. The sixth section studied the relationship between the raw material and the form and it treats the effect of the raw material on the form and how choosing the available raw material for a certain form and the effect of the form on choosing its crude material, and it deals with the harmony between them to accomplish an artistic work. The seventh section is about the relationship between the form and the content in the artistic work and their effects on each other and their harmony The eighth section is about the relationship of the block to the surrounding space and this section studies the constructional relationship between the sculpture and the external space of exhibiting and the spatial conditioning depending on the subject of the artistic work and the nature of the place of exhibiting the sculpturing block in the space. The ninth section is about the relationship between sculptures with the function of the place. This section studies the constructional relationship of the artistic work depending on the architectural and aesthetic function and it discussed the conditionings suggested by the function for the work through the spatial relationship and the aesthetic function. The third chapter was about the procedures of searching such as the followed methods in analyzing the searching community and its samples which are chosen deliberately to serve the program and the aim of the study in which appear the expressive characteristics. 20 samples were picked from the searching place.
