Three-Dimensional Design
Differences between three-dimensional and two-dimensional design
Two:
-We use our technical, perceptual, and conceptual skills to create flat visual patterns convincing illusions.
-It is the viewer's mental response that gives the artwork meaning.
Three:
-Our experience in the three-dimensional world is more physical and direct.
-As we traverse in architectural space, we alter our perception with each step we take.
-The materials used in the construction of a three-dimensional object determines its aesthetic appeal as well as its structural strength.
Basic building blocks for three-dimensional design:
-Line, plane, volume, mass space, texture, light, color, and time.
Line: A series of adjacent points, a connection between points, a point in motion.
-Line Quality: Quality is largely determined by the line's orientation, direction, and degree of continuity, as well as the material used.
-Line Orientation: the horizontal, vertical, or diagonal position of a line.
-Line Direction: the implied movement of a line.
-Line Continuity: (Linear Flow): can increase movement and accentuate form.
Actual Lines: Can connect, define, or divide a design.
Implied Lines: Created through mental rather than physical connections.
Plane: A three-dimensional form that has length and width but minimal thickness. Can be transparent or opaque, rigid or flexible, flat or curved.
-Intersecting planes: can create large scale structures that are remarkably strong.
Volume: (In General): the amount of space an objet occupies. (In Art): refers to an enclosed area of three dimensional space
-Cubes, cylinders, cones and spheres are among the most prevalent volumes found in both nature and architecture.
Mass: A solid three-dimensional form.
-A massive object can be as dense and heavy as a bar of gold or as light and porous as a sponge.
