Remember the most important part about working in groups is sharing and learning from eachother. Volume and mass (density) Volume = a shape in three dimensions Shapes are flat. If you take a shape and give it three dimensions, it has volume. A three-dimensional form has volume. Volume (three-dimensionality) can be simulated in a two-dimensional work (like a painting). This self portrait by Rembrandt is an example of simulated, or implied volume . The face looks three-dimensional. In actuality, however, it is a two-dmensional (flat) artwork, a print.

"This perspective is such a sweet thing," he said. As you already know we live in a three-dimensional world :   1. Height, 2. Length 3.Depth We can change or viewpoint, trasnforming the way we see things. That way objects seem to be smaller of bigger depending whether we are close or far away from them. The same way objects might seem to vanish or disappear when we move around them or we move away from them. Light also plays a very interesting role in the way we perceive objects.  3D OPTICAL ILLUSION Viewpoint in Perspective The Horizon Line in Perspective Vanishing Lines in Perspective One Point Linear Perspective This is an example for our NEXT PROJECT (one point linear perspective):    And this is ...
