For courses in Three-Dimensional Art. This text provides a thorough examination of form and organization concepts, and sets them in artistic, cultural, and theoretical contexts accessible to beginning students. It covers the traditional principles of an introduction to three-dimensional design, but with a slant that shows them how to be viable and effective while linked to more contemporary approaches. This necessitates illustrations taken from highly diverse societies, and a large number of examples drawn from nature and science.
