FAQs About the 2001-02 Portfolios
 
How can I tell whether my work is "three-dimensional enough" for the 3-D Design Portfolio?

For a working definition of what constitutes 3-D Design work, consider the following:

  • The artwork occupies actual physical space. Height, width, depth, and gravity are essential elements of the construction and effect of the artwork.
  • The unoccupied space (the space between the masses, edges, and parts) are significant contributors to the effect of the artwork.
  • Directional light changes, reveals, and conceals the appearance of the form.
  • The form has no "back" — all aspects of the physical object must be experienced to have full information about the artwork.
  • The form's literal structure and its material properties influence and affect the interpretation of the artwork.
