The document discusses the concept of space and how depth is indicated in images. It defines space as the area between objects and discusses techniques like layout, resizing, overlap, contrast, sharpness, and texture that artists use to suggest depth and create a sense of space in two-dimensional images. These techniques are based on how human perception interprets size, placement, and detail to distinguish what is closer or farther away.

2.- Shape and Space: Depth indicators:
layout, resizing, overlap, contrast, sharpness
& texture.

3. • The distance
or area
between,
around,
above, below,
or within
things.
Claude Monet

4. • The resources used to
suggest depth in an image are
based on our perception of
size:
• Two identical shapes
located in the same
horizontal line do not
produce any feeling of depth.

5. • LAYOUT
The sense of
distance is
accentuated when
the shapes are
located on different
horizontal lines
and the smaller one
above.

6. • RESIZING
Experience shows
that a distant object
it seems to be
smaller, so, between
two shapes, the
smaller will seem
the farthest.

7. • OVERLAP
Due to experience
we know that if
two objects are in
the same line of
sight, the closest
hide the other.

8. • CONTRAST
The use of different
colours and light
also gives us a sense
of space.

9. • SHARPNESS AND
TEXTURES
The sharpness and
detail of the textures
indicate that shapes are
on the
foreground, while the
blurred contours
suggest that they are on
the background.
