Post-Photography After photography became widespread, it was the agreed that itwas the best way to capture the likeness of something
accurately. Even though there were talented Realist painters practicing,
nothing could compare to the accuracy and speed of a camera. Thus, painting and sculpture became an outdated way of
recording the likeness of people and life.

one point to another. In sculpture, line can
define the solid mass- itserves as the outline.
We perceive the edges ofthe surface as lines.
In fact, these edges areplanes, and this term
should be used to refer tosculptural forms.

When light from a single direction (e.g. our sun) hits an object, partof the object is in shadow.
Light and dark areas within an image provide contrast that showvolume.
Factors that can affect our feelings towards an image include thedirection of the light source, from above or below, and thegentleness or abruptness of the half tones.

Space
A good artist realizes that the space surroundingan object (positive space / shape / mass / etc) isjust as important as that object itself.
Negative space helps define a subject, and brings
balance to a composition.
This image usesnegative space to helpemphasize the mainsubject. Without all ofthe negative space, the
main object ould bemuch less interesting.
