Why does the design for most 3D art start as 2D art?

The degree to witch the surface of an object seems to have a particular feel is referred to as an object

Need to answer this question on a discussion board post

Select one work of art from the gallery that culturally represents the period it was created within. (i choose "the well of moses")why did you select this work of art or architecture? when selecting and writing about your work organize your thoughts by addressing the following questions. keep in mind that the last question should get the most attention in your short essay. when was it made? where was it made? what is the material? who made it? why was it made?
