    Study Notes

    Space

    • In a 2D work, such as a painting, space is the element of art through which both positive and negative areas are defined. Positive space refers to the areas of interest and objects depicted in an artwork. Negative space is the background or area around the subject.
    • The pictorial space of a 2D artwork can be flat or illusionistic.
    • Illusionistic space: Space that appears 3D in a 2D painting is an illusion that creates a feeling of depth. Several techniques can be used to show depth such as linear perspective, overlapping and tonal variation.
    • Sculpture is 3D and occupies actual space because it has volume.
