[edit] Two and Three Dimensions

[edit] What are they?

Dimensions, in art, can create some really interesting effects.

They are connected with perspective, which is often used in graphic desigh, especially one-point perspective and two-point perspective.

[edit] Two dimensions

The two dimensions are height and width.

[edit] Three dimensions

The three dimensions are height and width and depth. Depth is often applied by projecting a shadow. Three-dimensional shapes can often be created by extra lines, or by doing a net.
