Shape/Form An enclosed space or area; shapes are 2D. Implied by an area of color Can be geometric or organic Forms are 3D.

Draw a value scale (light to dark) in the Value section Line Shape Space Texture Value Color Microsoft Click

Space Distance between lines and shapes, or the illusion of depth Shown by: –Converging lines –Overlapping shapes –Changing brightness of color –Position on the page –Decreasing size (foreshortening) –Use of shading and shadows Microsoft Click

Schweres Rot by Wassily KandinskyWassily Kandinsky Converging lines Position on the page Overlapping shapes Decreasing size

Two Kinds of Space Positive Space: The space that an image or object fills (the yellow cup) Negative Space: the space around and between the image or object (the blue background)

What’s positive and what’s negative space??

Where’s the foreground? Where’s the background?
