2D FORMS

Two-dimensional (2D) mediums in art refer to artistic practices that primarily involve creating images on a flat surface, without the depth found in three-dimensional works. Common 2D mediums include:

• Drawing: This traditional medium encompasses a wide range of techniques, from pencil and charcoal sketches to ink drawings and pastel works. Drawing allows artists to express ideas, convey details, and explore various styles with lines and shading on a two-dimensional plane.

• Painting: Painting involves applying pigment to a flat surface using brushes, palette knives, or other tools. Oil, acrylic, watercolor, and tempera are popular painting mediums. Artists use this versatile form to create diverse textures, hues, and visual effects on canvas, paper, or other flat surfaces.
