Space is the element of art that refers to the emptiness or area between, above, around, below or within objects.
- Space refers to both outer space and inner space.
- Space can be flat, two-dimensional or three-dimensional
- Shapes and forms exist in space
- All objects take up space
- Shapes and forms are defined by space around and within them. They depend on space for their existence
- In both 3D and 2D art, the shapes or forms are called he positive space or the figure
- The empty spaces between shapes of forms are called negative spaces or ground
- Large negative spaces around positive spaces may express loneliness or freedom
- crowded positive spaces express tension and togetherness
- Sometimes it's not easy to tell which are negative spaces and which are positive spaces, This is because the artist gives equal emphasis to both figure and ground
- Artists sometimes confuse the viewer
- over,under,through,behind and around describe 3D space
- You can walk around, look through, look behind, peer over, and each into 3D art
