Hanging Paper Collage

Purpose:

• To understand the difference between 2d art work, relief sculpture, and 3d art work;
• To create something flat into something not flat using the concepts of “positive & negative space”, along with “sculpture in the round”;
• To understand and use the principles of art: Repetition and Unity in your sculpture;

• To look at and discuss the 2d & 3d works of art by Mia Pearlman as a means of inspiration.

2d art work is 2 dimensional, which means it is flat. 3d art work is 3 dimensional, which means it pops out. This way you can look from many different angles and see different things whereas in 2d it is always the same no matter what angle you look at it. 3d has depth while 2d does not. I learned that 3d allows you to kind of make many different images that change depending on where you are standing. I think this adds an extra element of creativity over 2d art work. I also learned that 3d art can really take any shape.  It will never just be a rectangle, it has multiple levels to it.  I think this makes 3d art work more intricate on a certain level.
