Question 8 • {HS} Intro to Art Sem. 2

In sculpture in the round, the division of positive and negative space is dependent on the _______________________

Answer
A
technique and materials used by the artist.
B
artist’s perspective.
C
focus and interest of the viewer.
D
angle the sculpture is being viewed from.

Explanation

In sculpture in the round, the work can be viewed from all sides, and the shapes and openings around it appear different as you move. Therefore, the division between positive space (the solid sculpture) and negative space (the areas around or within it) depends on the angle the sculpture is being viewed from, not just the artist’s materials or the viewer’s interests.
