Study Notes

Three Dimensional Art

  • Defined as having height, width, and depth; an example is pyramids.
  • Incorporates four visual elements: form, volume, mass, and texture.

Form

  • Distinguishes between flat shapes and three-dimensional forms.
  • Attributes of forms:
    • Volume: space occupied by the form.
    • Mass: expression of solidity.
    • Texture: tactile sensation and memory of touch.

Media/Medium

  • Refers to the materials used in creating art.

Geometric Form

  • Characterized by regular shapes that can be described mathematically.
  • Common examples include cubes, spheres, cylinders, cones, and pyramids.

Organic Form

  • Derived from living organisms, leading to irregular and unpredictable shapes.
  • Used for expressive effects in art.

Great Sphinx of Giza

  • Largest single-stone carving in the world, sculpted from living rock.
  • Symbolizes power to transform surroundings.
  • Named from Greek mythology rather than Egyptian origins.

Great Pyramid of Khufu

  • Exemplifies the importance of geometric form.
  • Initially covered in fine white limestone, demonstrating regulated design.
  • Egyptian art followed strict rules known as a canon.

Form in Relief and in the Round

  • Relief art projects from a flat surface, viewable from one side only.
  • Forms in the round can be seen from all angles.
  • Relief combines elements of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional art.

Stela with Supernatural Scene

  • Created in bas-relief, displaying low relief carvings.
  • Stela refers to an upright stone slab featuring inscriptions or pictorial designs.

Volume

  • Indicates the amount of space occupied by an object.
  • Architectural designs often enclose a volume for living or work purposes.

Open Volume

  • Created when a space is enclosed with materials that are not fully solid.

Mass

  • Represents solidity and spatial occupation.
  • Our perception of mass comes from past experiences with objects and an understanding of natural forces.
  • Suggests solidity without necessarily indicating heaviness.

Monumental Scale

  • Refers to sizes that dwarf viewers, symbolizing the power of rulers, and often larger than life.

Texture

  • Tactile sensation experienced through physical interaction with forms.
  • Involves both visual impressions and imagined sensory experiences.

Subversive Texture

  • Texture that contrasts with the object's expected feel, challenging viewers' preconceptions.

Stele/Stela

  • An upright stone slab, often inscribed or decorated with relief carvings, organized in a flat plane.

Composition

  • The overall design or organization of a work of art.
  • A successful composition balances unity and variety to maintain viewer interest and provide structure.

Implied Texture

  • A visual illusion of texture that cannot be physically felt.

Actual Texture

  • Describes the real tactile quality of a surface that can be felt directly.

Foreground

  • The part of a visual scene closest to the viewer, contributing to depth perception.
