NES Art (503) Practice Test

Space describes the area around and between objects in a composition and the sense of depth within a scene. It covers the empty regions around shapes (often called negative space) as well as how the arrangement of objects creates distance and perspective. By adjusting placement, size, overlap, and contrast, artists convey depth and spatial relationships. Rhythm is about repeated patterns that guide the eye, color refers to hues and light values, and shape is the two-dimensional outline of a figure. So space best fits the idea of the area around and between objects and the feeling of depth.
