4. Space = Depth, Distance, or Area around things In a picture, space is an illusion that creates the feeling of depth. There are several ways to show space & depth: 1. Distance with 1 point perspective 2. Area around or within things. 3. Positive vs. Negative space 4. Size change (Biggest in front to smallest in back) 5. Overlapping
Distance with 1 point Perspective
Create A Road Add telephone poles Add yellow lines down the center Add plant life along the road Add a river down one side of the road Add one other detail
Mathematical Area around or within objects…
Positive V. Negative
Positive V. Negative
Draw an everyday object Create positive and negative space and label them
