2D, 3D, And 4D

In found an interesting 4D cube which is similar to Rubik's cube.  
The way the cube is displayed is interesting especially when you manipulate it and watch how the pieces change positions.

I found some 2D images which I thought were detailed, colorful, something I would like to try to make a similar type of picture, and something to study.

3D imaging is more of a challenge for, however I plan to study it more and want to work on some pictures similar to the pictures below.  Because of 2D being rendered on a flat surface and 3D being rendered on a dimension similar to working with substances like making a statue,  and then displayed on a flat surface, I'm not sure if telling the difference is possible.  I know when viewing 3D movies you need special glasses, so perhaps, I'll have to forgo this experience.  I have one eye which works which means; I have no depth deception, ability to use 3D glasses, and my vision in the other eye is very limited.  Art is a challenge, especially 3D art.  If anyone has any ideas and/or resources; which would help me successfully continue my quest in the art field, most importantly digital art; I appreciate your information.

Some Of My Favorite Web Sites

I am currently getting to know my new service dog Bella.  Here is a link to one of m y favorite sites and where I got this picture of what Bella almost looks like.
http://www.pitbulllovers.com/


What I like about this picture is the use of the sofa for a great back ground color.  The blue sets off the color of the dog well with no doubt the canine is sleeping, and makes the dog distinct and stand out so there is no problem seeing the dog.  The photo is clear, close enough to the subject to see the dog well, the colors compliment each other, they do not conflict with each other, and I didn't have to try to guess where the dog was in the picture.


Because I do not have a picture of Bella, to give you an idea of her color, and an idea of how she is when I'm working on my school work, I decided this was a very good picture to use.


Here are a few more of my favorite sites:
  1. The pictures and other art at these sites are fascinating.
  2. There are resources and tutorials.
  3. The information about the artists is informative and very interesting.
  4. The font on these sites and the back ground make reading the information possible.
  5. I hope to learn how to create similar art in the future.
  6. I'll be able to check out more information by following the links on these sites.
  7. I'm inspired to create more art.
  8. I have art and art information sites I can share and inspire people to enjoy and learn more about art.
  9. I'll continue to [because of this class and finding these sites] research art especially computer art.
Digital art is growing on me.  This seems to be a very good way for me to express my imaginations adventures.
