If colour and shape are good but empty space is in the wrong place what will happen?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Visual balance and the viewer’s order of attention will be affected
Empty space, or negative space, controls spacing, balance, and the direction in which the viewer’s eye moves through a composition. If it is placed poorly, even good colours and shapes can make the work appear unbalanced or scattered, and attention may not reach the intended focal area. Depth does not automatically increase because empty space is wrongly placed. Exam tip: assess the spaces around objects as well as the objects themselves when judging composition.
