Figure, subject, focus can all be used to define positive space in artwork. It is the object or person-- the thing or subject-- that composes the painting or art. Negative space is the background and what surrounds the figure, subject or focus.

What are the 5 elements of art?
I found 7TextureThe texture is the quality of a surface, often corresponding to its tactile character, or what may be sensed by touch. Texture may be used, for example, in portraying fabrics. It can be explicitly rendered, or implied with other artistic elements such as lines, shading, and variation of color. FormForm may be created by the forming of two or more shapes or as three-dimensional shapes (cube, pyramid, sphere, cylinder, etc.). It may be enhanced by tone, texture and color. Form is considered three-dimensional showing height, width and depth. Examples of these are sculpture, theatre play and figurines. Form is the external appearance of a clearly defined area. Form could refer to 4th dimensitional figures such as in computer generated design. SpaceSpace is the area provided for a particular purpose. Space includes the background, foreground and middle ground. Space refers to the distances or areas around, between or within things.There are two types of space: positive and negative space. Positive space refers to the space of a shape representing the subject matter. Negative space refers to the space around and between the subject matter. Space is also defined as the distance between identifiable points or planes in a work of art. ShapeShape pertains to the use of areas in two dimensional space that can be defined by edges, setting one flat specific space apart from another. Shapes can be geometric (e.g.: square, circle, hexagon, etc.) or organic (such as the shape of a puddle, blob, leaf, boomerang, etc.) Shapes are defined by other elements of art: Space, Line, Texture, Value, Color, Form. ColorColor pertains to the use of hue in artwork and design. Defined as primary colors (red, yellow, blue) which cannot be mixed in pigment from other hues, secondary colors (green, orange, violet) which are directly mixed from combinations of primary colors. Further combinations of primary and secondary colors create tertiary (and more) hues. Tint and Shade are references to adding variations in Value; other tertiary colors are derived by mixing either a primary or secondary color with a neutral color. e.g. Red + White = Pink. Color is the quality of an object or substance with respect to the one reflected by it, and usually determined visually by measurement of hue, saturation and brightness of the reflected light. ValueValue, or tone, refers to the use of light and dark, shade and highlight, in an artwork. Some people also refer the lightness and darkness in an artwork as tints(light) and shades(dark). Black-and-white photography depends entirely on value to define its subjects. Value is directly related to contrast. Value is the relative degree of lightness in the graphic work of art or painting. LineLine is defined as a mark that spans a distance between two points (or the path of a moving point), taking any form along the way. As an art element, line pertains to the use of various marks, outlines and implied lines in artwork and design, most often used to define shape in two-dimensional work. Implied line is the path that the viewer's eye takes as it follows shapes, colors, and form along a path, but may not be continuous or physically connected, such as the line created by a dancer's arms, torso, and legs when performing an arabesque. Line is an element of art that is simplest, most ancient, and most universal means for creating visual arts. Source: Wikipedia

Why cant the adsolute value of a number be negtive?
That is because of the way the absolute value is defined. The absolute value of a positive number is positive, the absolute value of a negative number is also positive. The absolute value of zero is zero. Even in the complex numbers, the absolute value is defined in such a way that it is a real and positive number.
Does 'environment' also include humans?
"Environment" includes everything in a defined space -- including humans.

Prove that Hilbert Space is a Metric Space?
The question doesn't make sense, or alternatively it is true by definition. A Hilbert Space is a complete inner product space - complete in the metric induced by the norm defined by the inner product over the space. In other words an inner product space is a vector space with an inner product defined on it. An inner product then defines a norm on the space, and every norm on a space induces a metric. A Hilbert Space is thus also a complete metric space, simply where the metric is induced by the inner product.
What is the definition of bailey?
Bailey is defined as the outer walls that surround a fortification and it can also be used to refer to the space between or outside these walls.
What are the different ways to show space in art?
This ones easy, well I've done this before and I came up with a poem (POEMS ARE ART IN WORDS) describing the emptiness of space without stars and stuff. Some of my peers created a piece of artwork by making planet mobile and adding glitter, working lights, stickers, paint, and other cool stuff.... You can also dye, paint, draw on, or write on a T-shirt representing the various space component's. Don't forget that there is always ideas at your local art shop. HOPE THIS HELPED!! ...it didn't -.- they are talking about space, like surounding the object...not space as in the galaxy..dumb a** sincerely, me..

A superscript number tells you to multiply the base number by itself that many times?
Yes, that is the basic idea - if the exponent (the number with a superscript) is a positive integer. However, negative and fractional exponents are also defined; you can verify this with any scientific calculator (use a positive number as the base, in this case).Note: In a number such as 103, 10 is the base, 3 is the exponent.Yes, that is the basic idea - if the exponent (the number with a superscript) is a positive integer.

What is the enclosed area of a character called?
The enclosed area of a character is called a bowl. Once a bowl is created, the space is then called a counter. A counter is also defined as a partially enclosed space or area of a character.
How is space defined according to physical science?
Space is the separation of objects. Two objects cannot occupy the same place at the same time. It is also what gives objects size and shape. It is how we measure objects.
