🧪 Artistic Art Education

Interactive art-education studio: move a single light source around a 3D form and watch the classic five-value shading system emerge -- highlight, halftone, core shadow, reflected light and cast shadow -- exactly the technique academic drawing and Renaissance chiaroscuro painting are built on.

This simulation provides a virtual environment for learning about art history and technique -- specifically the single most foundational skill in representational drawing and painting: reading light on form. Move a single studio light around a 3D primitive and watch the classic five-value shading system used from the Renaissance masters through today's academic ateliers emerge directly from Lambert's cosine law, with live readouts of incidence angle, illumination and highlight size so the physics behind the technique is never hidden.

⚙ Under the hood

This simulation provides a virtual environment for learning about art history and techniques. It allows users to explore different artistic styles, movements, and materials through interactive exercises.
