THE ELEMENT OF
SPACE
--the area around an object
6 WAYS TO CREATE SPACE
• OVERLAPPING- PLACING ONE OBJECT IN
FRONT OF OR BEHIND A 2ND OBJECT TO
SHOW DEPTH
• SIZE- LARGE OBJECTS APPEAR CLOSER,
SMALLER OBJECTS APPEAR FURTHER AWAY
• DETAILS- MORE DETAILS TO OBJECTS
CLOSER UP, LESS DETAILS TO OBJECTS
FURTHER AWAY
6 WAYS TO CREATE SPACE
• PLACEMENT- OBJECTS DRAWN LOWER DOWN IN
THE PICTURE PLANE APPEAR CLOSER, HIGHER UP
APPEAR FURTHER AWAY.
• AERIAL PERSPECTIVE – USING LESS DETAILS AND
LOWER INTENSE COLORS FOR OBJECTS IN THE
DISTANCE, BRIGHTER COLORS FOR OBJECTS
CLOSER UP.
• LINEAR PERSPECTIVE – SLANTING LINES AND
MAKING OBJECTS GO BACK TO A VANISHING
POINT ON A HORIZON LINE.
WHAT IS PERSPECTIVE?
• your point of view– how you see
things from where you are.
– the proper or accurate point of view or the
ability to see it; objectivity
– the theory or art of suggesting three
dimensions on a two-dimensional surface
