Abstract :The subject of the study is based on the three-dimensional art of drawing on the ground, also called the art of three-dimensional pavement art, as it attracts audiences for its strangeness and its implementation with techniques based on visual deception, achieving the third dimension, as well as the comical or political sense that dominates these works. The study also aimed to reveal the artistic, aesthetic, social and cultural dimensions of the three-dimensional street pavement art, deriving its importance from the problem arising from the need to identify the artistic and social dimensions in the art of three-dimensional street pavement art within the limits of contemporary arts. The most prominent results of the study were that some artists` works, such as the artist Julian Beever, were affected by political trends that aimed to achieve the principle of the right to live for all of humanity. Artist Kurt Wenner also brought out the issue of genetically modified animals. Some of the artists` works also contributed to complementing a place environmentally, as when the artist Manfred Stader created a scene that appeared at the end of the world, but the artwork preserved the place so that it became a complement to the street. Also, in the artist Edgar Müller work in the zoo, so that the three-dimensional work became complementary to the place. Some artists also relied on their imagination from a historical perspective, such as the artist Leon Keer in forming the ancient Chinese soldiers in a giant three-dimensional work in the form of Lego. The goal was to spark scenes and reshape the event in Florida, which may contribute to attracting a large number of people.
