2D art, or two-dimensional art, is any visual art that is represented on a flat or virtually flat surface and exists in two dimensions, such as height and width. It is typically viewed from a single perspective and can be created using a variety of mediums, such as pencil, charcoal, ink, watercolors, and oil paints. 2D art often employs materials such as paper, canvas, wood panels, or digital screens as its support.
