Sonya Volcko: as even the visual arts are about representing the non-visual, it makes sense to include the fourth dimension. art is about what cannot be simply referred to with the senses we're familiar with, nor language. I suppose you agree there's a difference between a painting not including depth, and one (still being a painting so actually a two-dimensional product) depicting a life scene like people in a room
Lino Cawthorne: Why not ask the teacher?Someone who might know a little more about the subject than you do(I imagine).
Loise Mausser: The teacher probably went to an art school that concentrated on conceptual art and not the technical aspects of actually producing art! Talk is interesting, but sometime you have to actually do it. A real artist actually creates real art.
Nicolas Cooley: You can try through twin paradox, as time is the fourth dimension, if a twin stay on earth and the other travels very very fast, thing difficultly achieved wit! h my car, to another point in the universe, when he or she returns his/her brother or sister will be much much older than his or her. Just a theory, but atom particles seem to behave this way
Alphonso Brake: So what did your teacher say about it? To get the 4th dimension you have to have the viewer do some imagining about what "cannot" be seen. Humans cannot see in three dimensions, but art can account for it through diagrams, still leaving open much objectivity of what one might see. But there is debate about whether it even exists anywhere. It's only theory. So how can a slide serve as something useful for a teacher, let alone a lower level art student? A drawing, painting, can depict the concept through example of what may be imagined in a 4th dimension by dissection, but it's not 4th dimensional in the art itself. It DOESN'T exist!...Show more
Maynard Reevers: Strange concept. I'm not sure what the 4th dimension in art is. The 3 dimensions are height, width! , depth. It's easy to represent those in art. The 4th dimensio! n the way you are talking about it is something hidden or inside something else. It's always compelling to add some mystery to a painting so the viewer can ask: what's going to happen next, or wonder what's inside that. I think of the 4th dimension as being time and that does not exist unless the art is a mobil or something like that. Now that I think of that, I painted a piece a couple of years ago, a landscape, where a storm was coming up, and the trees were blowing in one direction. Moving air = 4th dimension. The effects were represented but you couldn't see the air.If you look at some of the cubist paintings you will see features represented at different angles. For example a face looking forward with the nose viewed from the left and eyes from the right. That could be broadly described as a 4th dimension....Show more
