Art Skills and Techniques:
TRANSFORM
2DIMENSIONAL SHAPES
INTO 3 DIMENSION MASS
A form may be 2 dimensional or 3 dimensional.
A 2 dimensional form is easy to recognize because it
is un shaded and flat in appearance. This flat shape can be any color
or no color. The shape itself has the appearance of a silhouette when
seen against another color. for example, black against white.
Sometimes very simple
flat shapes can be transformed into stunning 3d masses.
Sculpture
is made by artists who have a special fondness for the appearance of 3 dimensional
mass.
Sculptors
like the way surfaces change and run into other surfaces.
They like the way light reflects
from the surfaces illuminating them with light
and shadow.
The following are some examples of
forms which have been translated into 3d.
