Question

Painting is

• A. Four dimension
• B. \textbf{Three dimension}
• C. Two dimension
• D. None of these

Hint:

Paintings are usually created on 2D surfaces but employ 3D effects using shadows, perspective, and highlights.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the nature of painting
Painting, as a visual art form, is done on flat surfaces such as paper, canvas, or walls. These surfaces exist in the physical space having dimensions — length and breadth — and when combined with techniques like shading and perspective, they create an illusion of depth.

Step 2: Dimensions in art
Although the painting surface itself is two-dimensional, the composition and technique give it a visual three-dimensional effect. In common art terminology, painting is considered to represent the three dimensions: length, breadth, and an illusion of depth (perspective).

Step 3: Elimination
- Option (A) Four dimension — incorrect, as painting doesn't represent time or movement explicitly.
- Option (C) Two dimension — technically the medium is 2D, but not the representation.
- Option (D) None of these — invalid.
\[ \boxed{\text{Three dimension is the most accurate answer.}} \]
