Examples of Planar in the following topics:
-
Two-Dimensional Space
- Two-dimensional, or bi-dimensional, space is a geometric model of the planar projection of the physical universe in which we live.
- Two dimensional, or bi-dimensional, space is a geometric model of the planar projection of the physical universe in which we live.
- In physics, our bi-dimensional space is viewed as a planar representation of the space in which we move.
-
Architecture
- The style uses Neoclassical architectural forms, minimal carving, planar expanses of highly grained veneers, and applied decorative painting.
- Though neoclassical architecture employs the same classical vocabulary as Late Baroque architecture, it tends to emphasize its planar qualities rather than its sculptural volumes.
-
Silkscreen Printing
- It is more versatile than traditional printing techniques as the surface does not have to be printed under pressure, like etching or lithography, and it does not have to be planar.
-
Neoclassical Architecture
- The style uses Neoclassical architectural forms, minimal carving, planar expanses of highly grained veneers, and applied decorative painting.
- Though Neoclassical architecture employs the same classical vocabulary as Late Baroque architecture, it tends to emphasize its planar qualities rather than its sculptural volumes.
-
Impressionist Sculpture
- Greater attention was paid to the rhythms of volumes and spaces—as well as greater attention to the contrasting qualities of surface (open, closed, planar, broken, etc.) while less attention was paid to story-telling and convincing details of anatomy or costume.
