2D And 3D Art: Dimension Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. When one considers the fact that painters are two-dimensional artisans and sculptors represent three-dimensional art, one can readily surmise that while the two artistic modalities appear to have little in common with each other, the sculptor gains a significant amount of his craft from the presence of two-dimensional application. Even within the narrow boundaries of print art, the painter is able to transform his two-dimensional art into a three-dimensional creation with nothing more than a stroke of a brush. How is this possible? The writer discusses that for the painter this transformation requires only light; for the sculptor, the requirements are much more sophisticated. No bibliography.

Through the additional study of these dramatic colorists, we would be able to not only tap into those who are visual learners, and do not perceive themselves as such, but would also be able to document the place of these artists in the history of the use of color in basic creativity studies, psychological studies, and potential work environments, and their color implications.
