87. Exercise 3: Bas-Relief & Carved Cubes bas-relief as`-re*lief" n. [F. bas-relief; bas law + relief raised work, relever to raise: cf. It. bassorilievo.] Low relief; sculpture, the figures of which project less than half of their true proportions; -- called also bassrelief and basso- rilievo .

88. Exercise 3: Bas-Relief & Carved Cubes – Ancient Egyptian Introduction to three-dimensional forms These forms of art have existed right from the Egyptian civilization. The walls of Egyptian temples were decorated with this technique.

89. Exercise 3: Bas Relief & Carved Cubes - Islamic It was also used by other civilizations including the Islamic civilization..

90. Exercise 3: Bas-Relief & Carved Cubes – Ancient Egyptian Bas- relief is a technique, which can be actually termed as two-dimensional work. But at some places the sculptors carve out the portions and give it a three-dimensional effect. While doing this exercise your brain has to calibrate itself to imagine a three-dimensional form with the help of two-dimensional sketches.

91. Exercise 3: Bas-Relief & Carved Cubes – Ancient Egyptian The sketches done on the surface before carving it as a two-dimensional line work. A circle drawn on the surface can represent a cylinder. This training to the brain is necessary for visual artists to improve their imagination abilities.

138. Exercise 6: Staircases through History Staircases are one of the oldest building elements in architectural history, though it would be difficult to date their origin precisely. They appear to change with architectural eras, reflecting the prevailing philosophies and symbolic languages, unveiling the talent and ingenuity of those who have created them. The grand staircase at the Paris Opera , built by Charles Garnier in 1875. The central staircase at the Villa Savoye (1929-1931), Poissy, France, by Le Corbusier . Staircase at the Joan & David Shop, Paris, designed by Eva Jiricna in 1994. Staircases, by Eva Jiricna, from Watson-Guptill Publications, showing a staircase by Jyrki Tasa, Finland, 1997.
