If negative space is also making a recognizable figure which visual relation is the artist using?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Figure-ground relation
When the empty area around a main form, or negative space, also creates a recognizable form, the viewer shifts between figure and background. This is called the figure-ground relation. Colour temperature concerns the visual effect of warm and cool colours, not a shape formed by negative space. Exam tip: check whether the figure and background can visually exchange roles; if they can, identify figure-ground relation.
