- Physical texture refers to the tactile quality of a work.
- Visual texture is the representation of texture in a work.
Perspective
- Perspective is the effect of distance on the appearance of objects.
- Perspective is used to create the illusion of depth on a flat surface.
- There are two kinds of perspective:
- Linear perspective: represents distance through converging lines.
- Aerial perspective: represents distance through gradations of tone and color.
Space
- Space refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece.
- Space can be positive or negative, open or closed, shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional.
- Positive space refers to the main focus of a picture.
