ISBN: 0671500139 Drawing in 3-D with the Twelve Renaissance Words What does 3-D mean? I've asked zillions of kids this question at school assemblies all over the world. My audiences have responded with some very creative answers: "Three-D means wearing funny-looking glasses to watch a movie." "Three-D means using different colors in your drawing." "Three-D means making your drawing look real." and my favorite: "Three-D means making your drawing pop out of the paper so it looks like it's about to bite you on the nose!" Since you are such a scientific-minded art student, I'll share with you the actual definition of 3-D. Once you understand what this means, you will be able to learn how to create this effect in your drawings. "Three-D" is an abbreviation for "three-dimensional." Three-dimensional means having height, width, and depth. Most people draw in two dimensions. They use height and width, but they do not understand how to create the illusion of depth on their paper. If I asked your parents to draw me a tree, they probably would draw something like this: This tree has height from top to bottom, and it has width from side to side. This tree is 2-D, or two-dimensional, because it doesn't have any depth. Without depth, drawings look flat. With depth, drawings look as if you can reach right into the picture and touch the object.

You just need to learn a few words. This is your face before you learn how to draw in 3-D. Your face after you learn how to draw in 3-D with the Twelve Renaissance Words! Learning how to draw in 3-D is super-easy! Learning how to draw in 3-D is as simple as learning twelve simple words. These twelve words have been used by great artists for over five centuries. Once you learn these words, you will be able to draw anything from your imagination, or anything you see in the world around you, in perfect 3-D! On the opposite page I've listed the Twelve Renaissance Words for you. These words have been used by artists for more than five hundred years to create the illusion of depth in their artwork. Remember, when you create depth in your picture, you are adding the third dimension. You are drawing in 3-D! The Twelve Renaissance Words of Drawing in 3-D! Over the next two hundred pages you will become very familiar with these words. Each of the words below will help you conquer that flat piece of paper to create the optical illusion of dep
