Answer:

There are six ways an artist can create the illusion of space on a 2-Dimensional surface.

Space - element of art, refers to the emptiness or area between, around, above, below, or within objects

Positive Space - the shapes or forms of interest

Negative Space - the empty space between the shapes or forms

3-D Space can be defined as the space over, under, through, behind, and around a form. Architecture, sculpture, weaving, ceramics, and jewelry are three-dimensional art forms

2-D space can best be described as an illusion. We perceive depth by creating an illusion of 3-D space on a 2-D surface.

Point of view - refers to the angle at which you view an object.

Illusion of form - is manifested by creating an image with a range of value. By accurately placing highlights and shadows an artist can create the illusion of form.

Chiaroscuro - An Italian word that means the arrangement of light and shadow. Today chiaroscuro is also called modeling or shading.

Illusion of depth - is manifested through the use of several factors:

Perspective - a graphic system that creates the illusion of depth and volume on a two-dimensional surface.

Overlapping - when one object covers part of a second object, the first seems to be closer to the viewer.

Size - Larger objects appear to be closer to the viewer than smaller objects

Placement - Objects placed low on the picture plane seem to be closer to the viewer than objects placed near eye level

Detail - objects with clear, sharp edges and visible details seem to be close to the viewer. Objects that are less detailed seem further away

Color - Brightly colored objects seem closer to you, and objects with dull, light colors seem to be further away

Step-by-step explanation:

Many new artists overlook the importance of creating space in a drawing or painting. The result usually looks flat or objects can appear to be floating. Luckily, however, creating space in an artwork is very simple to accomplish and there are a number of ways to it.
