Examples of Space: Two-Dimensional Artworks

Positive space refers to the shapes or forms of interest in a two-dimensional artwork, while negative space is the empty area between those forms. Techniques used to depict space in art include overlapping objects to indicate depth, using cooler and lighter colors and values for objects further away and warmer and darker colors and values for closer objects, making distant objects smaller with less detail, and placing objects higher in the picture plane to show them as more distant.

EXAMPLES OF SPACE

~Two-Dimensional Artworks

PositiveSpace - the shapes or forms of interest

Negative Space - the empty space between the shapes or forms

Examples of techniques in Space

Overlapping - occurs when objects that are closer to the viewer prevent the
view of objects that are behind them.
Color and Value - Objects that are further away are cooler in color
temperature, while objects that are closer are warmer.  Objects that are
further away are lighter in value, while objects that are closer are typically
darker in value.

Size - Larger objects appear to be closer to the viewer than smaller objects
Placement on the paper - Objects placed higher within the picture plane will
appear further away.

Detail - Objects that are further away should have less detail than objects that
are closer to the viewer.
