SHAPES 2D – 3D

When we look around a room, we can see that something is wide or narrow, tall or short, near of far. To visually measure space and volume, we need to look:

VERTICALLY, from top to bottom, to compare HEIGHT

HORIZONTALLY, from side to side, to compare WIDTH

TRANSVERSALLY, from front to back, to compare DEPTH.

We need to know these three basic dimensions (HEIGHT, WIDTH and DEPTH) to accurately interpret the space around us and to see shapes THREE-DIMENSIONAL.

1. Three-dimensional forms on a plane.

To create three-dimensional forms on a plane, we have to learn how to artistically represent the third dimension: depth.

Artists use many ways to create the illusion of depth on a flat surface.

One of them is the use of CHIAROSCURO.

“Chiaroscuro” is an Italian word to express the treatment of LIGHT and SHADE in drawing and painting, with strong contrasts to create dramatic effect.

2. Three-dimensional forms in the space.

There are several ways to create VOLUME from a flat surface.

One method is to fold an object enough times until it becomes a closed object that has volume.

Geometrical figures that have volume are made up of regular, flat geometric shapes which fold onto each other. For example, when we peel an orange, the outside part can be recreated in one piece onto a flat surface.
