## Kinds of Perspective * Aerial perspective is the representation of relative distances of objects by gradations of tone or color. * Objects become fainter in the distance due to the effect of the atmosphere. Objects appear to be lighter in color as they recede into the distance or atmosphere. ## The Art Element of Space * Space refers to how the artist fills the surface on which a work of art is created. It can also refer to the expression of depth within a work of art. * When talking about a three-dimensional object, space is the actual volume that is taken up by the artwork. ## SPACE * Space as an element of art refers to distances or areas around, between or within components of a piece. * Space can be positive (white or light) or negative (black or dark), open or closed, shallow or deep and two-dimensional or three-dimensional. * Sometimes space isn't actually within a piece, but the illusion of it is. ## Kinds of Space * Positive space - the areas in a work of art that are the subjects, or areas of interest. * Negative space - areas around the subjects, or areas of interest. ## Shape, Form, and Volume Shape, Form, and Volume are words that are used to describe distinct areas or parts of works of art or architecture. * Form applies to the over-all design of a work of art. * It describes the structure or shape of an object. ## The Art Element of Form * Form refers to a three-dimensional object. As such, form is an art term that is only applied to those artworks that are three-dimensional, such as sculpture and pottery. * Forms, much like shapes, can be geometric or organic. Geometric forms have hard lines and edges. Organic forms are curvy and more free-form. ## Types of Form * Form and shape can also be described as either organic or geometric. * Organic forms such as these snow-covered boulders typically are irregular in outline, and often asymmetrical. Organic forms are most often thought of as naturally occurring. * Geometric forms are those which correspond to named regular shapes, such as squares, rectangles, circles, cubes, spheres, cones, and other regular forms.
