The difference is that art is composed of only two elements, namely length and width. Because it is only composed of two elements, of course this type of art can only be seen from a certain direction.
However, for skilled artists, this two-dimensional art work can be used as a medium to put treasure in it.
This is because the artists give all their creativity to be placed in this media of art which will later get an appreciation. Among the examples of pure two-dimensional works of art are graphic images, posters, paintings, and so on.
