Question

Analysis of a Three Dimensional Artwork Examine a three dimensional work of art from at least 5 different viewpoints. Walk around the work and look at it from below and above if possible. Based on your observation answer the following questions: 1. Why do you think the artist chose to make the work of art a relief or in the round? 2. Do you think the artist expected the viewer to see the work from all angles, or would he/she have preferred the viewer to stand in one location? 3. Does anything about the work make you think the artist considered what kind of lighting would surround the work?

Answer 1

three-dimensional alternative to shape. Some also mention value, which is described as a parameter that determines the intensity of color, and pattern, which refers to repetition. As you can already imagine, these are supposed to be the basic units deployed to constitute a visual arrangement, ultimately perceived as a whole.

Thanks to the way our brain functions, we rarely interpret these units individually, unless we deliberately choose to focus on each of them in particular, or in case the artist aims to emphasize a single element in order to achieve a certain effect or to make a statement.
