      Here's a process:
      1) Watch the video (or read the essay)
      2) Don't go straight on to the next video or essay until you've done the following, which starts with the "sort by" box above the questions.
      3) Set the "sort by" to "top voted"
      4) Read at least the top four questions posted by other learners, and the answers that they've received.
      5) Go back to the "sort by" box and re-set it for "recent".
      6) Read the more recent questions and, if any haven't been answered, try answering them yourself.
      7) In all of these places, if you see a good question, or a good answer, give it an upvote. You may give 10 upvotes every day!
      8) Upvotes will encourage other learners, and answers to questions will help you as much as they help people who ask.
      9) Do this, and you will learn much.

    But the head is decidedly NOT shaped like a cube! A cube has straight equal sides and square corners. The head of the Korwar is tapered in form and exhibits obtuse angles and rounded corners. How can you see a cube here with your eyes open?

      I believe that learning all this will be helpful, but it is not a must. Above all, you must have interest and curiosity over what you are seeing. The rest will come quite naturally.

    If there is 4D, (4D is 3D + light) is there a 5D, maybe including motion? if so, how many dimensions are there? and maybe our eyes are only strong enough to see a few of them.

      Shape and form (article) | Elements of art | Khan Academy (20)

      I personally always think of 4d as 3d + time, but either way there are other aspects to art rather than the static physical form, if that is the root of your question.examples I can think of are the passage of time and how the piece has aged, where the piece of art has travelled to (e.g it's biography), the piece in context (e.g it's original purpose vs. Later uses or how it is viewed in a museum), I'm sure there are others.

    The piece has a childish impish look but when I look down at the entirety it looks more imploring and sad. but I was drawn to the eyes first. But I do see a blockiness To me in the entirety of the piece. - honestly I’ve always thought art was a joke I say that in honesty, and not to be judged I’m trying to learn. My first class my first comment.

      If the head isn't a cube, then it's some other shape. Is that what you were asking?

      I think just the overall weathering of the sculpture itself could be considered the softening lines. I think it is either that or the curve of the forehead.
