The same effect of illusion can be created when painting a drawing or a canvas piece, but it is not as common to identify studio artwork with three-dimensional characteristics as 3D art. People generally love and encourage street painting, as it brings an interesting and joyous note into their daily routines. The realistic picture produces a phenomenal impression, and if a person is positioned over it properly, it can appear as though they entered the painted scene. These scenes can be very different, ranging from depictions of figures, false architectural objects and city elements, to elaborate landscapes, rivers and waterfalls. It is a two-dimensional picture, which when observed from a certain angle, gives an illusion of a three-dimensional scene. This 3D art can be seen as a form of graffiti, but it is actually based in pictorial, rather than in linguistic world. In 19th century, street painters called “screevers” were a common thing in England, and the number of these sidewalk creatives only increased throughout the following centuries.

This is one of the oldest forms of three-dimensional painting, and its origins can be traced back to the 18th century. Street painting, chalk art, pavement art or sidewalk art is the form of 3D art which is executed in the street.
