Chaoters 1,2,4, and 8 3D art - Test 1

Three Dimensional

those having height, width, and depth.

What happens when photographing three dimensional work?

in photography it cannot convey surface texture, weight, and balance of peace nor it can sapture sound, smell, or motion.

Point of view

a set distance and angle from which the piece is viewed.

Two dimensional

having only height and width but no depth.

Values

gradation from lights and darks

Linear perspective

The convergence of parallel lines toward a distant vanishing point

Virtual realities

utilizes immersive technology to create interactive, three-dimensional digital environments that blend imagination with reality

What does virtual mean?

is a computer term reffering to anything that exists only as digital memory in computer than in physical.

Scale

the relative size of pieces.

Does photography give good idea of the scale of art piece?

no. many photographs give no clues to weather the object pictures is very small or very large.

How do artists then potray scale in photography?

They often include in the photograph something of known size-such as a bench or a human being, to serve as a standard of comparison.

Conceptual art

work or events exsiting as ideas in the artists mind but not necessarily presented or maintained in tangible form

Relief

refers to the raising of three-dimensional forms rom flat background.

Low relief

the shallowest form of relief.

Bas relief

it is the same os low relief. is derived from the Italian basso-rilievo, meaning "low relief".

High relief

forms are brought more fully off the flat surface, for nearly sculptural effect.

Frontal works

three dimensional work designed to be seen from only one side but not confined to a flat background.

Frontal

organized for being viewd from the front. EX: jewlery

Full round

fully dimensional piece. designed to be seen from all sides. 360 degrees

Walk through works

This process places you at the center of the work; rather than your circumnavigating its circumference, it encircles you.This feeling of being surrounded by a 360-degree experience

what are two ways one can draw viewers attention to their own sculpture?

by Tactile/ visual appeal. if the viewer has a need to touch the sculpture their eyes will will look around it as if feeling it.

and by engaging curiosity. “how did the artist do that” “what keeps it from falling?”

Representaional art

visual accuracy in artistic representation of objects from our three dimensional world.

Abstraction

reduction of details in order to focus on a thing's essence. In the ancient Woman of Willendorf

stylize

a way to draw or depect what we see. or the manner in which the work is executed.

content/ subject matter

that which is being depicted

installation pieces

designed enviroments installed in muesums, soetimes temporarily.

performance piece

involve viewers in a live expirence conducted or set up by the artist. often these are statged as theater.

how does the unexpected draw viewers attention?

Some artists evoke viewer involvement by surprise. Certain pieces are deliberately designed to be shocking-to draw sudden attention to something that people normally do not see or do not want to see. Or, something may suddenly be perceived in an unexpected place.

Applied design

interior projects such as interior design, landscape design, and industral

Line

A mark made by a moving point; can be straight, curved, thick, thin, implied, etc.

Shape

A 2D enclosed area (circle, square, triangle)

Form

A 3D object with volume (height, width, depth)

Value

Lightness or darkness of a color.

Texture

How a surface feels or looks like it feels (rough, smooth)

Color

Created by light; includes hue, value, and intensity.

Space

The area around, between, or within objects.

Why is size important in art or in 3D work?

not only important in scaling work to its surroundings but also managing the practical details of creating, transporting, and displaying it

Ergonomics

The study of how people relate physically to their environment. has led to the designing of office furniture that minimizes fatigue and improves work effecency by suporting the human body.

Layouts

two dimensional plans viewed from overhead

fabricated

constructed using industrial techiques by someone other than the artist may require mechanical drawings to scale for precise duplication.

site specific works

those to be installed in a particular location drawings of the piece in place as the viewer will see it are usually necessary. works are created in dialogue with their surroundings—the location of their installation is a part of the work itself.

maquette

small scale model

Balance

Visual stability in an artwork (symmetrical, asymmetrical, radial).

Contrast

Difference between elements to create interest.

Emphasis

The focal point of an artwork.

Movement

How the viewer’s eye travels through the piece

Pattern

Repetition of elements.

Rhythm

Repeated elements that create visual tempo.

Unity

A sense that all parts belong together.

Variety

Differences that add interest.

Exterior form

the external, visible, or tangible outline and structure of an object, defining its shape in both 2D and 3D. It represents the outer boundary (contour) and, in sculpture or architecture, the three-dimensional volume (height, width, and depth)

interior form

These works often feature an outer, protective shell that encloses a smaller, more delicate, or complex form within.

Primary countour

the shape of its outermost extremity

secondary countors

the forms developed on its surface

positive forms

solid areas that occupy space

Negative space

the shapes of spaces that are enclosed or delineated by positive forms.

Static

in the sense of appearing stationary, non-moving.

dynamic

forms are those characterized by motion and change or energy that will lead to motion and change

representaional/figurative

forms are those that refer directly to an object from the three-dimensional world of our ecpreience

superrealism

highest degree of representational.

Idealism

depicting an object accoriding to an accepted standard of beauty

nonobjective

a type of abstract or nonrepresentational. it tends to be geometric and does not represent specific objects, people, or other subjects found in the natural world.

Sculpture

A three-dimensional artwork that occupies real space.

Additive process

Creating form by adding material (ex: clay modeling).

Subtractive Process

Creating form by removing material (ex: carving).

Casting

A process where liquid material is poured into a mold and allowed to harden.

Mold

A hollow form used to shape materials.

Freestanding Sculpture

A sculpture meant to be viewed from all sides.
