Space, as one of the classic seven elements of art, refers to the distances or areas around, between, and within components of a piece. Space can be positive or negative, open or closed, shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional

Space can be divided into different types, thus having slightly different definitions, as follows:

  • Two-Dimensional Space. ...

  • Three-Dimensional Space. ...

  • Four-Dimensional Space. ...

  • Positive and Negative Shapes. ...

  • Direction and Linear Perspective. ...

  • Proportion / Scale. ...

  • Overlapping Shapes.
