Guided
Tour of Sculptural Concepts
-
|
- The
following tour is designed to help give a framework in which
basic sculptural principals can be understood. With a firm
understanding of these concepts it is possible to apply
sculptural thought to computer generated art, thereby creating
a relevant digital sculpture experience. Regardless of the
tools being used, the sculptural experience remains the
same and this tour is useful for anyone interested in learning
more about how to think in three dimensions (and beyond...)

- What
is Sculpture?
- The
Oxford English Dictionary defines sculpture as ...that
branch of fine art which is concerned with the production
of figures in the round...
So what does "in the round" mean? The OED
gives
this term as the definition to three-dimensionality
In order to understand sculpture it is necessary to look
at what the term "three-dimensional" means. Before
we can do this though, we need to look at the meaning of
the terms "one-dimensional" and "two-dimensional."
