The element of SPACE in Art

This week we will focus on the element of SPACE!
In art, space refers to how shapes in the artwork are arranged.

Sometimes we use overlapping, 

positive (full) and negative (empty) space, 

foreshortening, and perspective.

I want you to look around your home for objects.

You will need- 1 large, 1 medium, 1 small object.

You can have more if you would like.

You are going to arrange them in a way that shows

there is a background, middle-ground, and foreground.  Y

ou will put yourself in front and drop yourself low to the floor.

This will give you some ‘perspective’. 

This is my example for the layout. 

A 3D picture! So much fun to create!

The more you add, the more you layer in the front, middle, and back. You are wanting to create depth in your '3D picture'. You can even take your hands and place them on the outside sides of your eyes so your line of vision is truly fixed on the objects you have arranged.

Finally, your pencil work for the week will looks a little bit like this…
