Introduction
Three-dimensional works of art:
Have height, width, and depth
Possess four of the visual elements: form, volume, mass, and texture

Form
A two-dimensional object is a shape; a three-dimensional object is called a form
Forms have two basic attributes
Volume: the amount of space a form occupies
Mass: the volume is solid and occupies space

Forms vary widely in scale (the size of an object relative to another object)
Forms are tactile; texture can be experienced directly through touch or imagined simply by looking at it
Great Sphinx of Giza and Pyramid of Khafre
1.2.2 Great Sphinx of Giza (front), c. 2500 BCE, and Pyramid of Khafre, c. 2500 BCE, Giza, Egypt
Great Sphinx of Giza and Pyramid of Khafre
The Great Sphinx is the largest carving in the world from a single stone; it guards tombs
Pyramid of Khafre is an example of regulated geometric form
Egyptian art and architecture is ordered and controlled; governed by a canon (set of rules)

Stone was a common material in ancient Egypt
Both artworks are located at Giza, near Cairo
Great Sphinx
Symbol of the power we, as humans, have to change our surroundings
The name “sphinx” comes from Greek, not Egyptian, mythology (creature with the body of a lion, wings of an eagle, and head of a man)
Believed to be a likeness of the Egyptian King Khafre
Pyramids
Emphasis on mathematical proportion and attention to detail
Geometric Form
Regular forms that are readily expressible in words or mathematics
Cubes, spheres, cylinders, cones, and pyramids are simple examples

American sculptor David Smith (1906–1965) learned welding in an automobile factory and fabricated tanks of thick armor plate during World War II
He burnished the stainless steel surfaces to create a counterpoint between industrial and natural form
Organic Form
The form of most things in the natural world is organic: irregular and unpredictable
Living things (and their form) change constantly
Can be used for expressive effect

Tagliapietra conveys the idea of “a creature who emerges from his dark cave to share goodness and light”
He says of his work: “I imaged pieces that allow the viewer to see both the reality and fantasy of Batman’s world”

Our perception of mass is derived from our imagination, our previous experience with smaller objects, and our understanding of the forces of nature
Some artists imply mass to give the impression that the object we are looking at is very heavy
In movies, special-effect artists play with that illusion (e.g. boulders made of foam)

Texture is the tactile sensation when we physically encounter a three-dimensional form
We rely mostly on the impressions we receive from our hands

In the early twentieth century, Surrealists created work that drew on ideas and images from dreams and the unconscious mind
In her sculpture, Oppenheim (1913–1985) takes normally hard and cool objects, and makes them soft and furry
Conjures up an unexpected sensation of fur tickling our lips
Form is recognizable, but the associated experience is not
