    This document discusses the visual element of volume. It contains the following key points: 1. Volume is perceived when a plane moves in a direction other than its own, creating a third dimension of depth and occupying space. Volumes have three dimensions like length, breadth, and height. 2. Volumes are represented by points, lines or outlines that are close together, creating the illusion of a three-dimensional form on a two-dimensional surface. Texture, shadows, color, and perspective also help convey depth and volume. 3. While volumes are three-dimensional, two-dimensional representations on paper or screens use illusions to depict volumetric space and how objects would appear in three dimensions.

    Visual Elements - Volume
    Visual Elements - Volume

    Formal Aspects

    • A moving plane, moving in a direction other than its


    own intrinsic direction gives rise to a volume.

    • We identify a volume because of its 3rd dimension of


    depth and the fact that it occupies space.

    • Volumes have 3 dimensions.

    For example, a rectangular prism has length,


    breadth and height.

    • A 3 dimensional volume is perceived in a closed or


    almost closed plane.

    Formal Aspects

    • Planes that are close to each other with a common


    directional relationship are perceived as a volume.

    • Volumetric forms can be represented by means of


    points, lines or by means of outlines

    • The perception of depth or volumetric space is


    created by using textures, shadows, changing colour
    values and the use of perspective.
    Visual Elements - Volume

    Semantic Aspects

    • Volumes are 3 dimensional in nature and denote


    volumetric spaces. In 2 dimensional representation of
    volumes, the perception of space and depth is
    illusory. Volumetric depictions in 2 dimensions (2D)
    are closest to how those objects would be perceived
    as in 3 dimensions (3D).

    Practical Aspects

    • We are able to represent 3 dimensional volumetric


    objects as representations on a 2 dimensional
    surface. Examples of these are illustrations on paper,
    displays on monitors, images on movie screens, etc
    Definition:
    Volume is a product of dots, lines and planes. It is
    an illusion of three dimensional forms on a two
    dimensional surface and illusion of space within a
    form.

    Composition:
    Composition refers to the arrangements of
    elements and characteristics within a defined area.
    This arrangement should be visually pleasing and
    more importantly convey specific information and
    meaning.
