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 unshaded and looks flat
in appearance.
This flat shape can be any color or tone.
The shape itself appears as a silhouette when seen against another
color...
for example, black against white.
Very simple
flat shapes that you invent can be transformed into stunning 3d masses.
This is done by the addition of lines to represent surface edges and
then shading.
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
Illumination produces the effect of light and shadow in scupture.
The following are some
examples of shapes
which have been translated into 3d MASSES.
Froehliche D. Frog says,
"Don't be a square, be a cube."
