355: Elements of 3D Design

Something that caught my attention throughout our readings in the Stewart book was the different elements of form. In math and science we learn about volume and mass as space and weight. The book explains volume as the empty space and mass refers to a solid form. When I think about volume as a form I think of the space needed to for a 3 dimensional object. Knowing mass can mean weight, I kind of thought about something that could be heavy in the art world but I also thought of something that can be solid internally like a concrete sphere. I guess I never really thought about these two forms before and understanding the difference makes these things easier to identify if I needed to.
