use of cone, cylinder or geometrical
shapes and etc.
• Cubism derived its name from the cube, a three-
dimensional geometric figure composed of strictly

and angles on a flat surface in a three-dimensional
manner formed by light and shadow.

INSTALLATION ART

involves the arrangement of objects in a space.

way it allows the viewer to be “in” the artwork.
• The viewer can move around and sometimes
interact with the different components in the space
or with the space itself.
• It activates not only your sense of seeing but
also involves the sense of touch, sound,
smell, and even taste.

and designed for a specific area while some

art gallery or museum presented to an
audience, may be either scripted or
unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated;
spontaneous or otherwise carefully planned
with or without audience participation to a
theatre, café, bar, or street corner.
• The performance itself rarely follows a traditional
story line or plot. It might be a series of intimate
gestures, a grand theatrical act, or the performer
remaining totally still.
• It may last for just a few minutes or extend for
several hours. It may be based on a written script
or spontaneously improvised as the performance
unfolds.
