Elements of 3-D Design
Space: distance, area, volume; physical space independent of what occupies it; absolute space.
Line: the edge or outline of a form, the meeting of planes; linear materials include: wire, wood, metal rod, string or any materials with a long thin shape.
Plane: a flat or level surface –– planar materials include foam core, cardboard, sheet metal, plastic sheets, and plywood.
Mass/ Volume: closed, independent, three dimensional form ––interpenetrable, completely surrounded by

In some cases, the intent is to present the essence of an object rather than its outer form.
Abstract: (verb) to simplify, emphasize or distort qualities of a real-life image.
Amorphous: having a shape without clarity of definition/ formless, indistinct, and of uncertain dimension.
Anthropomorphic: Having qualities reminiscent of the human form; referring, however remotely, to the human form or human gestures.
Articulated: attached with a flexible or movable joint, as in the digits of a finger.
Assemblage: a work generated from a variety of objects and/or forms originally intended for other purposes.
Attenuate: make thinner, more slender (e.g. Giacometti’s human figures are attenuated.)
Axis: a line, real or imagined, around which the material that composes an object appears to be organized.
Cantilever: a structural member, as in architecture, projecting from an upright, and unsupported at the opposite end.
Casting: a sculptural technique in which liquid materials are shaped by being poured into a mold.
Composition: an ordered relationship among parts or elements of a design.
Concave: a negative area in a plane or surface, a scooped out or indented form or area.
Content: the substance of a work of art, including its emotional, intellectual, symbolic, thematic, and narrative connotations.
Contour: the outline of an object
Convex:
suspected it consisted of a single curved line and a single straight one. For my retests, I studied it
3-2: Implied Line— a line where no continues mark connects one point to another, but where the connections is nonetheless visually suggested. Lines that create a sense of movement and direction.
3. Distinction between the system of exhibits or representations and the exterior meaning they portrayed was imitated by distinguishing between the exhibits themselves and the plan of the exhibition: The visitor would also, besides the objects, encounter catalogs, plans, sign posts, programs, guidebooks, etc.
This is the name for one of the line segments which make up a polygon.
Baseline-a boundary line in the back of each side of the court, which is parallel to the net.
Hinge The convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another bone, Hinge joint are uniaxial because they allow motion around a single axis. Produces an opening and closing motion.
In the essay entitled “Structure, Construction, and Tectonics,” Eduard Sekler defined tectonics in architecture as an observable expression which cannot be explained in terms of structure and construction
Art is the theme of art, this means that the main reason artist design different types of art works is to bring about the visual satisfaction. One of the major reason as to why artist paint, draw or design their works is to have something to have look at. Therefore, before a viewer analyses a piece of art, he or she has to look at it as the first and foremost
What qualities or characteristics make the items above the line different from the ones below the line?
Lines are paths or marks left by moving points and they can be outlines or edges of shapes and forms. Lines have qualities which can help communicate ideas and feelings such as straight or curved, thick or thin, dark or light, and continuous or broken. Implied lines suggest motion or organize an artwork and they are not actually seen, but they are present in the way edges of shapes are lined up.
These forms were perhaps used to satisfy the desire to fill the void with selected or mixed elements that may have resulted in a kind of chaos or art. It can be distinguishing by the manner in which the artist regulates the elements of his composition by reflecting all the elements of the design which are used for functional and aesthetic purposes.
desiring to convey on emotion or inspiration, uses the imagination to create a structure that will properly
When trying to define art, humankind runs in to many difficulties. Traditional concepts of art include painting, sculpture, drawing, and photography. Art can also be one
Artworks are those that use natural tools in an aesthetically pleasing way, to express some deep meanings desired by the artist, for which this art is found. These works can be analyzed by looking at a variety of aspects individually and these elements are often called elements They are very useful for criticizing or understanding any artwork as a whole. The materials used by the artist creating the artwork in the documentary "Mystery Masterpiece", the shape of the work is the shape of which it is, including its size or its volumetric perception, and the artwork has three dimensions; the depth as well as the width and height, the three-dimensional form is the basis of sculpture, yet the two-dimensional artwork can achieve the illusion of the
Architecture can be viewed with two different types of properties. Properties that can be seen like shapes, their composition, the spaces they create and, the colours and textures that make up their appearance. These properties are considered to be visual while other properties are considered to be abstract. These properties can only be described using words; the meanings behind the architecture and the stories that can be told about it. The context, its cultural background and its function also affects how we view architecture. The question is, what
