Abstract

This creative project has traced the development of shaped canvases from two-dimensional shapes to a more three-dimensional shaped form. This project has compared work completed in the past by Newman, Noland, and Stella and work presently being done by Bonticou, Baer, and Hinman with the work defined in the project.In addition, work defined in the project has been carefully described as to the selection of materials, the preparing of individual sections, the preparation of the canvas surface, and the proper way of displaying the art form.Finally, the project discussed the unique utilization of corner space for display purposes and the various techniques and methods of lighting used to alter the appearance and effect of the projected forms.
