Design Principles- Space

Right off the bat the slides tell us about how 3-D art uses lots of space that lets us "walk around all occupied space" like ceramic, jewelry, metal work, weaving, architecture, and sculpture. As for 2-D art uses space and depth to create illusion with medias like drawing, painting, and printing. On the third slide it shows lots of ways to use depth, a couple are size, overlapping, one point, two point, and multiple point perspective, transparency and so on. Size is one of the most important things that comes with space, when creating art or anything the things that are in the front and are closer are bigger, as they recede into space they get smaller and smaller, we see this a lot with pieces that have trees, building and etc. One thing that I learned about space is that its best to use patterns and repetition, the more different the objects and shapes are the less "successful"the piece will be. The slides go more in depth about some of the ways that I listed to use depth along with some others for example overlapping, each object or shape is used to hide a small or big part of another object. In one point, two point, and multipoint perspective they use either one two or multiple vanishing points to in a sense make it our focal point, each perspective has a different look to it. For example one point creates more of the intense focal point and allows the eye to directly go to the one point, as for two point creates more of a natural sense to the piece with the two points being more so towards the corners and lastly having multipoint makes our eyes wonder and go in all different directions and sometimes causes the viewer a sense of anxiety and a overwhelming unusual feeling. The last way of creating depth that 'm going to be covering is transparency, transparency is when forms are overlapping but the forms can still be seen underneath and a new term I learned with this specific way is equivocal space which is being "unclear about what is where or what overlaps what. I definitely learned lots about space, I didn't know that there were so many ways to create depth, apart from the ones I listed there's also vertical location, aerial perspective, plan and elevation, linear perspective, amplified perspective, multiple perspective, isometric perspective, and open form/closed form so many many different ways so it was very interesting to read and learn about each one of them!
