Space: Element of Art.What is spaceThe two types of space Characteristics of SpaceHow you can create space

Space is: A three dimensional (3/D) volume that can be

empty or full of objects.

Can you think of an example from your world?

Positive SpaceRepresents an

object or any of the subjects in an artwork.

Ex. A chair, person, etc..

Negative SpaceThe space around

or between any objects or subjects in the artwork.

Yellow is the negative space…

Another sample of Negative Space

Negative space: See the vase in

the middle, or the two men?

Either can be the negative space.

Deep Space

Shallow Space This one has depth, but

the other is deeper. One thing is in front of

another showing depth. (the third dimension)

Another Cezanne showing Depth Again shows depth

without a relatively DEEP space.

Compared to the landscape this is a more shallow Space.
