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."
